Nineteenth Century Chinese Metal Water Pipe, Covered with Green Dyed Ray Skin
Located in Leuven , BE
The Chinese water pipes for smoking opium or tobacco could be beautifully decorated with enamel or be coated with precious materials such as ray skin. How were they used? The heated opium was placed in the lidded well of the pipe. The smoker could inhale the fumes through this pipe. Most water pipes have a holder for storing the maintenance tools, such as a little brush, a spike and tweezers. The water pipes could easily be smoked while sitting down, unlike the regular opium pipes...

17th Century Rare Museum Quality Southeast Asian Medieval Tobacco Pipe
Located in Wainscott, NY
17th Century Southeast Asian Bronze Tobacco Pipe — Tay Nguyen Plateau, Vietnam A rare 17th-century bronze tobacco pipe unearthed in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, near the Cambodian border on the Tay Nguyen Plateau. Attributed to the Montagnard (Jarai) hill tribes, this piece dates to the 17th century or possibly earlier. The pipe features a bronze bowl with a short, curved stem that once accommodated an elongated reed or bamboo mouthpiece. Its elegant, angular form reflects both indigenous craftsmanship and subtle Chinese design influences. The surface exhibits a rich, natural patina developed over centuries, enhancing its sculptural presence and authenticity. This artifact represents a transitional moment in Southeast Asian material culture — when traditional highland utility met emerging trade influences from neighboring regions. Mounted on a custom steel display base, it reads as both an archaeological relic and a minimalist bronze sculpture...
