    Picked this up today..I pretty sure it's ceramic. Any ideas who it is supposed to be depicting?

    I found a similar carved pipe recently. It said Real Brier Made in France. I've never seen a ceramic one!

    I wasn't sure if it was wood or ceramic at first but it feels quite cold to touch and pretty hard. Maybe it's made from some weird dense wood. Ceramic would make sense though as it would cool the smoke down like a chillum :cigar:

    I'll have another look to see if it could be wood.
