Description: | A bowl fragment from a 17th- century clay pipe. The bowl is long, narrow and bulbous, with thick walls (3.9mm), and forms an obtuse angle with the stem. The short spur is stamped with the monogram 'WL', probably referring to the manufacturer.Clay pipes with small bowls (this example has an internal diameter of 11.1mm) and thick walls tend to sit early in the developmental sequence, probably relating to the changing cost of tobacco.
