You can buy ancient Roman pottery fragments for much less than that.
Amphorae were the plastic bottles and shipping containers of the ancient world.
Their shards are found en masse in every archaeological dig.
Interestingly, there are so many whole amphorae because whenever there was an earthquake or eruption, people would put their amphorae under an arched window or doorway, as they were the strongest parts of their houses, and less likely to collapse onto their amphora full of food

Same with paleolithic bifaces and arrowheads.
You can even buy old coins. Novel pieces of history to have if that you’re thing.

You have to do some shopping around if you want a nice one under a hundred nowadays. But OPs requirement wasn’t for it to look good
