Description: Hand-Turned Smoking Pipe Wood Cherry Beech Decorative Vintage Artisan Romania 1 decorative, smoking pipe hand turned and carved of natural cherry and walnut wood. Walnut mouthpieces are detachable. Metal liner.This pipe is at least 22 years old but was never used. Please see the provenance explanation below.These pieces were turned and carved by hand by artisans in Transylvania. They were meant to replicate the rustic, hand whittled objects one would expect to see in a mountain cabin in years past. They were not meant to be expensive possessions and as such, they are by no means perfectly finished and no two pieces will be quite the same. We only have 5 such pieces in our store, as reflected in the last pic. (Last pic not included in this sale. It is for your reference only, as you will receive a random piece from this lot.)Pipe measures approximately 6.5"L and weighs around 2oz. **** About the provenance of this item ****This item is part of a group of hand made textiles, hand carved wood, hand blown glass, and hand made ceramics that was acquired about 23 years ago from Romania (most from the Transylvania region) for a store our family operated in Ohio. Eventually, the store closed, and all remaining merchandise ended up boxed up in storage in a relative's climate controlled warehouse, until our eBay store received them just recently. While we may have more than just one piece of a certain style, for the most part: 1. they will be only a few at best; 2. each of them will be unique; 3. once they are gone they cannot be replenished. All these items reflect, one way or another, some aspect of the Romanian cultural heritage - and its appreciation for the creativity, uniqueness, imperfections and charm of hand crafted wares over the monotony and volumes of the assembly lines.Thank you for visiting our store, we appreciate your interest and business!
