Fragment tabakspijp 1760 - 1800

This small, clay tobacco pipe was crafted by Cornelis Huijvenaar sometime between 1760 and 1800. The pipe is a simple, yet functional example of early 19th century Dutch craftsmanship. It is a testament to the prevalence of tobacco smoking in that era and demonstrates the everyday objects crafted by artisans. The fragmented condition adds a layer of historical context, suggesting the pipe's use and eventual abandonment. This object, while seemingly mundane, offers a window into the daily lives of individuals from the past.
