Pijpenkop 1748 - 1770

"Pijpenkop" is a small, white clay pipe bowl, measuring 4.9 cm in length and 1.9 cm in width, made by Cornelis Gruijtershof between 1748 and 1770. The bowl is decorated with an embossed image of a crowned head, likely a royal figure. It's a fascinating example of 18th-century Dutch ceramic craftsmanship and the widespread popularity of tobacco smoking during that period.
