Description: | Old label reads E.1935.13 CULT unknown China [or Japan] The pipe has a bamboo stem with one end open and the other end sealed. A ceramic bowl would have been fitted approximately six inches from the open end and attached to the pipe by a connecting flange and copper saddle. It coul be used for smoking tobacco or opium; the substance would have been kept in the pouch when not in use and later heated on a small lamp fuelled by vegetable oil. The owner would also have used a needle on which to impale opium for heating and a small scraping tool or knife to dislodge the residue within the pipe and bowl. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | JEN : BOUCHER_CHARDIN : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
