Description: | Clay pipe fragment dating to the 17th century. The stem of the pipe has broken away. The bowl is circular in section with convex sides giving it a bulbous shape. The mouth of the bowl is chipped; running around the outside, just below the rim, is probably rouletted decoration with an intermitent indented horizontal line crossed by close together regular unindented vertical lines. The bowl is 13.5mm in external diameter at the rim, 18.0mm in maximum external diameter and 30.2mm tall (measured from the base of the stem excluding the foot). There is a small round foot at the base, 5.0mm in diameter. The remains of the stem is 9.2mm in diameter with an internal preforation 2.9mm in diameter. It meets the bowl at a c.150 degree angle. There is no evidence of a makers mark.The shape of the bowl, size of foot and angle of connection with the stem suggest a c.1610-1630 AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
