The information within this report is taken from an identification provided by Dr David Higgins of Liverpool University. Thanks are extended to Dr Higgins and Mr Graham Berlyn for their time and comments.
Largely complete bowl of c1660-1690 with a ligatured WH stamp on the heel. This maker has not been identified, but he is probably a member of the Hughes or Hartshorne families, both of which produced many pipemakers in the Brosley (Shropshire) area. This piece has a milled rim, a good burnish on the bowl (only), a stem bore of 6/64?, and its made of a coarse local fabric. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1660
