"Clay pipe Aberdeen (19th cent)."
Author: Inglis,Jim & Curtis,Neil Date: 1990 Purpose: Encyclopaedia of the North-East
"Smoking was a popular pastime from when tobacco was first brought from South America in the 16th century. Pipes were usually made from clay and continued to be so until the end of the 19th century, even though wooden ones were available. Most pipes were plain but this one is decorated with busts of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, each surrounded by a laurel wreath on both sides of the bowl. It was popular to have momentoes of the monarchy at the beginning of the 20th century, although this pipe does not indicate whether it commemorates a special event. The interior of the bowl of the pipe has been blackened by use."
