Chinese Qing Guangxu Bamboo Baitong Paktong Horn Tobacco Pipe
$150.00
Substantial sized Chinese late Qing dynasty Guangxu period tobacco pipe with bamboo stem, horn (probably ox-horn) mouth piece, and baitong (paktong, or white brass) bowl and shank. The pipe measures 23” (61cm) in length and the bamboo stem is about 1” (2 to 2 ½cm) wide. Late 19th to early 20th century. Clearly well used but in very good overall condition. There is a small crack in the mouth piece (see enlargement 3). This piece is from the private collection of American expatriates who lived in Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s.
