Pipe In French Or German Porcelain And Organic Material - 19th Century

Each side is adorned with a polychrome decoration, representing landscapes. The lower part of the body alternates black, turquoise green and white backgrounds, all enhanced with golden threads. The angular side handle is also elegantly highlighted with a gold border. The original metal lid is equipped with its hinge and its tightening collar, ensuring a perfect fit. The stem is extended by a turned piece of organic material. The stem (or shaft) is sculpted from an organic material, most likely meerschaum, and is distinguished by remarkable ornamental work.
