Description: | Clay pipe fragment dating to the 17th century. The stem of the pipe has broken away with only a short section left attached to the bowl. The bowl is circular in section with convex sides giving it a bulbous shape. The mouth of the bowl is chipped with only a small section of rim remaining; running around the outside, just below the rim, is rouletted decoration with an indented horizontal line crossed by close together regular unindented vertical lines. The bowl is 19.9mm in maximum external diameter and 27.8mm tall (measured from the base of the stem excluding the foot). There is a small round foot at the base, 4.1mm in diameter. The remains of the stem is 9.8mm in diameter with an internal preforation 2.1mm 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 |
