Description: | An incomplete ceramic tobacco pipe of post medieval date. Weight is 14.05g. Only a length of 15.24mm of the stem survives and this has a circular cross-section of 9.65mm diameter. The hole through the stem is relatively large with a diameter of 2.60mm. Below the bowl is an oval heal of 9.28mm length, 7.75mm width and 4.00mm depth. The large bowl has an incomplete length of 47.32mm measured from the right-angle formed between the heal and stem towards the rim, or a vertical height of 34.65mm measured from the right-angle previously mentioned to the horizontally projected line of the current top of the bowl. The bowl has a maximum diameter of 21.85mm and the walls have a thickness of 3.40mm. None of the rim survives. The inner edge of the bowl is at a 120 degree angle from the horizontal stem. This pipe is likely to date from the later seventeenth century AD c.1650-1700.
