Collectors' Vases and their Archaeological Context

 US YouTuber plays the role of a wannabe expert in the antiquities market. Fails through lack of knowledge of the issue.

The issue of course is where the dealers producing the fine vases bought by collectors like the hapless Mr Beall had sourced them. NOT whether there are ancient Egyptian hardstone vessels of these type - actually "looking just like" the ones found on the market - or rather the ones on the market look a bit like....
