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 slightly convex sides in a shape known as a London style bowl. The mouth of the bowl is plain with a large chip removed from one side. The bowl is 18.6mm in diameter at the mouth, 20.5mm in maximum external diameter and 45.1mm tall (measured from the base of the stem excluding the foot). There is a large round foot at the base formed of a flattened base of the bowl and not projecting. The remains of the stem is 10.9mm in diameter with an internal preforation 2.7mm in diameter. It meets the bowl at a c.120 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.1670-1700 AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
