Summary edit

Skull shaped clay tobacco pipe, France, 1845-1900
Title
Skull shaped clay tobacco pipe, France, 1845-1900
Description

Modelled as a skull, this clay tobacco pipe was made by Louis Fiolet in St Omer, Pas-de-Calais, France. Fiolet founded his business in 1746 and was known for his ornamental and human-shaped tobacco bowls. Shredded tobacco was packed into the bowl, lit and the vapours inhaled through a wooden or reed stem, which is missing from this example. Tobacco was introduced into France in the late 1550s and like elsewhere was popular for its taste and nicotine boost.

maker: Fiolet, Louis

Place made: Saint-Omer, Pas-de-Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France
