HOOKAH PIPE BASE (PC-058) Region From: Possibly Shiraz, Persia. Estimated Date of Production: Mid to late 1700s. Dimensions: 273 mm in height, 156 mm in circumference. Weight: 1115 grams. Colour: Blue aqua. Technique: Blowpipe pontilled, freeblown, everted lip, 4 clockwise turns of glass threading on neck, extending down to the base. Description: An odd piece of glass that only begins to look familiar when it is placed close to a collection of Hookah Pipe Bases. At this point, my best guess is that this was a Persian-made hookah pipe base. Provenance: Purchased October 2012 from the Fairbourne Collection. Literature: none. Related Works outside this collection: none known. |
