The Chipped Amphora is Pelican Town's own artifact. Artifact spots in town are the only digging spots that hold it, and the chance there is fair. Vincent sometimes sells one at the Desert Festival, and a pet dog at full friendship brings it home more often than most other artifacts. The first amphora should go to the museum, where it adds to Gunther's artifact milestones. Spare copies make the Antiquity Shirt at the Sewing Machine and work as an orange dye. The Dwarf and Penny like it as a gift.
The in-game description reads: An ancient vessel made of ceramic material. Used to transport both dry and wet goods.
Location
Artifact spots in Pelican Town are the place to dig for a Chipped Amphora. Most trips to the shops pass through town, so carrying a Hoe on every visit is an easy habit. Only a Hoe can dig these wriggling spots. Spots multiply in Winter, yet a good share of them turn up Winter Root or Snow Yam. The odds of an artifact double when the Hoe has the Archaeologist enchantment.
Artifact Troves include it too. The Desert Trader in the Calico Desert sells troves for five Omni Geodes each, and Clint at the Blacksmith breaks them open for a small fee.
During the Desert Festival, Vincent sometimes runs a booth. When he does, he sells a Chipped Amphora for one Calico Egg.
A fully befriended pet dog sometimes leaves a gift once it has been petted. The Chipped Amphora is one of its likeliest artifact gifts, alongside the Arrowhead and the Artifact Trove. Bone Fragments, Clay, Hardwood, Driftwood and Stone still come far more often.
Museum
Donating the first Chipped Amphora to Gunther adds it to the artifact collection. Gunther's artifact milestones reward the Skeleton Statue at fifteen artifacts and Rarecrow #7 at twenty, and the amphora counts toward both. The overall donation total grows too, bringing seeds, paintings and other prizes. Being easy to find, it is a handy early donation for building up the count before the Ancient Drum, Bone Flute or Chicken Statue go in.
Prices
The Chipped Amphora is one of the cheaper artifacts to sell. Its first copy does far more good in the museum, where it adds to the artifact count. Spare amphorae sell for little, but reading the Treasure Appraisal Guide triples every artifact's price.
Gifts
The Dwarf and Penny like the Chipped Amphora. A present for the Dwarf only raises friendship after the Dwarvish Translation Guide has been earned.
The shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike the Chipped Amphora. Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard dislike it as well. Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Sam, Sebastian and Shane share that view, and so do the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike it too. Vincent may sell one at the Desert Festival, yet he dislikes receiving one as a gift.
Notes
Putting Cloth in the feed and a Chipped Amphora on the spool of the Sewing Machine makes the Antiquity Shirt. The Sewing Machine is in Emily's house at 2 Willow Lane.
The dye pots in the same house accept the Chipped Amphora as an orange dye, as they do the Chewing Stick and the Dwarvish Helm.
Town artifact spots also hold the Rusty Spoon, the Prehistoric Rib and the Ornamental Fan. Digging every spot in Pelican Town works toward several museum pieces at once.
