Description: | Fragment of a post medieval (18th century) clay tobacco pipe bowl. The bowl is incomplete being broken along one edge. From the profile surviving it is most likely that this bowl fits within Atkinson's typology as Type 4A which has an elongated bowl, relatively small flat oval heel, and wide bore. This type is dated broadly to the period 1690-1720. The pipe is too incomplete to identify any finishing techniques. The small circular foot is unmarked.The pipe fragment measures 23.1mm by 19.1mm by 22.4mm, weight 6.98 grams.Atkinson, D. R. (1975). Tobacco Pipes of Broseley, Shropshire.
