Description: | Clay pipe fragment dating to the 17th century. The stem of the pipe has broken away with only a short section left attached to the bowl. The bowl is circular in section with convex sides giving it a bulbous shape. The mouth of the bowl is chipped with only a small section of rim remaining. The bowl is 19.7mm in maximum external diameter and 28.9mm tall (measured from the base of the stem excluding the foot). There is the stub of a small round foot at the base. The remains of the stem is 10.4mm in diameter with an internal preforation 2.3mm in diameter. It meets the bowl at a c.150 degree angle. There is no evidence of a makers mark.
The shape of the bowl, size of foot and angle of connection with the stem suggest a c.1610-1630 AD date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
