Hand Carved Chinese Motif Smoking Pipe

This type of pipe was historically used for smoking opium in China. The configuration of the typical opium pipe consists of a long stem, a ceramic pipe-bowl, and a metal fitting, known as the "saddle", through which the pipe-bowl plugs into the pipe-stem.The stems of opium pipes were usually made from bamboo, but other materials such as ivory and silver were also used. In the early 20th century, opium pipes were often called dream sticks.
