Fragment tabakspijp 1745 - 1785

"Fragment tabakspijp" is a clay pipe made by Pieter de Leeuw. Dating from 1745-1785, the pipe is a simple yet elegant example of utilitarian pottery. The pipe is characterized by its slender stem and bulbous bowl, which is partially broken. This object provides insight into the everyday lives of people in the 18th century. Its small size and delicate construction suggest it was likely a personal pipe, used for leisurely smoking.
