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 tall and circular in section with convex sides giving it a slightly bulbous shape. The mouth of the bowl is chipped and mostly missing, a band of rouletting runs around just below the rim, it consists of regular indented squares. The bowl is 20.7mm in maximum external diameter and 36.3mm tall (measured from the base of the stem excluding the foot). There is a large short round foot at the base, 5.4mm in diameter. The remains of the stem is 11.0mm in diameter with an internal preforation 2.3mm in diameter. It meets the bowl at a c.135 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.1660-1680 AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
