Default India beware

It is very unlikely that anything bought directly from India will be antique. As I understand it, the law there prohibits export of genuine antiquities. If you are buying from a bona fide dealer or collector outside India, you have a bettter chance of obtaining an antique. On the other hand, there are some very nice reproductions available.

I agree, that word "decorative" is a red flag!
