how about oldest WOMAN-made thing I can see?

I have a piece of Venetian Rose Point Needle-lace c. 1670, a present from one of my colleagues when I retired in February.

oldest MAN-made item would be a small 18th century coffee cup, according to the label it came from 'Bow of W. Duesbury 1760-1776'. William Duesbury was one of the founders of the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Company.
