Fragment pijpenkop 1750 - 1780

This anonymous fragment of a clay pipe bowl, dating from 1750-1780, is a small but poignant reminder of a bygone era. The piece, measuring only 3.9 cm in length and 2.0 cm in width, likely served as part of a larger pipe, used for smoking tobacco. The fragment's simple form and earthy texture speak to the utilitarian nature of its original function. The piece, though small, serves as a fascinating artifact of 18th-century Dutch culture.
