I can't find a good source if this is real or not. Someone else?

Yes, it's a real Athenian hydria and can be seen at the Eberhard-Karls University of Tübingen (Arch. Inst., E114. BAPD 2724).

It is attributed to the manner of the Meidias painter, and dates to ca. 420–410 BCE.

The image of Aphrodite threatening her child with a sandal became common in later art, including Roman.

There's a good article on the subject of corporal punishment with sandals in ancient Athens available at: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-020-00558-z
