All auctions / Lighting / Paar antieke Chinese waterpijpen (2) - Bot...
*A magnificent and exceptionally complete set of two antique Chinese water pipes (tobacco pipes) from the late Qing dynasty / early Republic period (circa 1900).* Both pipes are in a remarkably complete condition, including the original loose components such as the funnel-shaped tobacco bowls, the stems, and the ash-prickers on chains. This kind of refined smoking paraphernalia was used in China around the turn of the century for smoking finely chopped tobacco. 1. Red Porcelain Water Pipe with a Mark Hand-painted porcelain with thick enamel colors (famille rose / wucai) and a patinated brass mount. Central decorated with the white-red 'Shou' medallion (symbol of a long life), surrounded by longevity peaches and two carp (symbol of abundance and marital happiness). On the underside is the four-character iron-red seal mark "慎德堂製" (Shende Tang Zhi - 'Made for the Hall of Cultivation of Virtue'). Very good. A minuscule superficial glaze spot on the front (see photos), appropriate for its age. Fully functional and complete with all loose metal components. 2. Bamboo-shaped Water Pipe made of Bone/Horn Made from authentic animal bone (bovine bone) with a beautifully patinated bronze/brass mount and an elegantly shaped handle. The base is hand-carved in the shape of a natural bamboo stalk, a traditional Chinese symbol for flexibility and steadfastness. The metalwork features refined floral reliefs and cloud patterns. Excellent antique condition. The bone shows a beautiful natural patina with light age veins. A splendid, complementary pair for the serious collector of Asia/antiques or tobacciana. Will of course be packaged with utmost care and shipped by registered mail.
