Harry Potter Question

Does someone know if the amphora in this picture is a real old one or as been made for the film?

It comes from the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Snape teaches defance against dark art.
I think it had been made for the film, but I'm not 100% sure

Disclaimer: I major in ancient Greek and Roman civilization, with an art history minor. So needless to say, I've seen a lot of Greek vases.

The vase isn't ancient. Its condition is too good, and actual amphorai wouldn't have the stereotypical "Greek" patterns along the top and bottom. Also, the shape is wrong and the figures don't follow ancient Greek figural conventions. :)

So yeah, it's been made for the film.
