This unique pipe is a must-have for collectors of tobacciana and historical artifacts. Handmade by skilled artisans, this trade pipe is a true work of art. Depicting a sailing ship, there is an anchor motif on the reverse. It is approximately 7 inches (18cm) from tip to tip. With its origins in the US, this trade pipe is a piece of history that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of the country. Made from clay, these were historically used from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Clay pipes are known for not ghosting flavors like briar pipes, making them ideal for testing new tobacco blends. Please note: Clay pipes are fragile and can break easily and the bowl can get very hot when in use. No chips or cracks, but it has been used, this is in used/preowned condition.
