Description: | Clay tobacco pipe, dating to the 17th century (Ayto 2002, p.8). The bowl is fairly small and thick, but slightly longer and thinner in form than those seen on the earliest pipes. A milled ring decorates the top of the bowl - a design seen on many pipes of this date. The stem is missing. The base is flat, with an imprinted maker's mark. This is worn and chipped in places, so difficult to decipher, probably reading -P(?) at the top with WE-- below. Length: 38.88m, Width: 17.26mm, Thickness of bowl: 4.78mmWeight: 6.01g
