The Mystery Bowl and the ashtray are in fact, authentic. The seller is an excellent seller and we have purchased from him before. He is mistaken about the ashtray as they were not made of chalk but rather a product called Pour Rock or Dur Rock which was a cement type mix. (it's been a long time ago). The ashtrays were not fired and that explains why you have discoloration and burn marks.
