Title
clay pipe bowl
Description
English: An incomplete clay pipe of post-medieval date. All that remains of the pipe is the complete bowl which is small and bulbous with an incised circumferential line around the rim. There is a flat foot beneath the bowl with no discernable makers mark and the tube has been lost to an old and worn break. The circular hole through the tube is slightly off-centre and measures 3.36mm in diameter and would suggest a rough date of c.1610 AD. Pipes such as this are an early form in the typology of clay pipes and would generally date from the early 17th century. The pipe is 29.78mm long, 16.83mm in diameter at widest point and 9.40mm at the mouth and weighs 5.9g.
