No reserve price - Pipe - Porcelain, Wood, Textiles

Antique long-stem tobacco pipe, most likely of German origin, dating from the second half of the 19th century. The pipe features an elongated traditional construction with a porcelain bowl decorated with a hand-painted hunting/countryside scene. The decoration depicts a hunter with a dog in a rural landscape. The porcelain bowl is fitted with a hinged metal wind cap and is connected to the long black stem by a small metal chain. The stem combines black-finished sections with a woven textile-covered central section and decorative metal-coloured rings. The pipe shows attractive age-related character and signs of previous use. There are small marks, surface wear, patina and minor imperfections consistent with its age. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description. No visible maker’s mark or hallmark has been identified.
