Can anyone help with this terracotta pipe please? Chibouk?
« on: February 05, 2015, 01:45:37 pm »
Does anyone know what the mark on this terracotta pipe is? Any idea of age or any information appreciated. Unfortunately there are some chips to the lip of the bowl so it's value is limited but I would like to know more about it.

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

the material appears to be salt glazed stoneware. sorry but the marks mean nothing to me. in the uk the size of the bowl is often a signifier of its age, earlier bowls were much smaller as tobacco was more expensive when it was first introduced. sorry i couldn't be of more help.
