Fragment pijpenkop 1790 - 1794

“Fragment pijpenkop” is a small, clay fragment of a pipe bowl, created by Nicolaas Walter between 1790 and 1794. The piece is a fragment of a larger object and its size, 4.3 cm in length and 2.3 cm in width, reflects its intended purpose as a personal smoking implement. The piece demonstrates a simple, utilitarian style characteristic of pipe making in the late 18th century. The plain white clay and its worn surface reveal the object's use and history, suggesting a connection to daily life in that period.
