Well,
I have seen thousands of sherds of roman lamps (Lucernae) and i do'nt have any problem to think that one is real.
The buff colour is not uncommon. Many produccions of lamps of Nord Africa (specially Tunisia and Algery) are made in that colour, indeed of the orange colour of the Roman Red Slip Wares of that region.
I think depicts a chariot pulled by two dogs. Can be a kind of toy chariot for a child. I remeber a mosaic with a depiction of a chariot pulled by two gooses and drived by a child.
The blackening produced by the firing is very common, principally in the upper part. Many times produces the breking in that zone.
