Overview

Small white toy pipe made of clay.

Historical information

Pipes were not always made for smoking and smaller ones like these were made for children to blow bubbles. A number of themes include: flowers, leaves, birds, baskets and rabbits - some were made with incorporated whistles. The style of this group with the little rounded bowls and arched stems were made by English firms such as the Southern Family of Broseley but also imported from Germany (the word Germany sometimes seen on the stem). They come in several colours of clay including red and brown, also with a glazed varnish on them.
Possibly Newman - investigate?
