opium-wterpipe-full.jpg

Fine chinese cloisonne white brass water pipe.  Lovely paktong (white brass) late 19th/early 20thC water pipe.  The enamel is in excellent condition which is unusual to find as these pipes are often badly scratched.  It retains all of its original tools and is complete.  There is little squashing to one of the tool holders not visable to the outside, nothing serious at all and a small depression to the back which has not left any damge to the enamel.  Overall it is one of the best examples I have seen in years and with a good clean inside, is ready to use!  Ht.28cm.
