Clay or Meer or ?

[jameral]

I was hoping someone could help me identify what kind of pipe this is. This pipe was given to me by a coworker friend of mine. The only lettering on it is on the band which says "Made in England". You can clearly see in the pics that there is a seam that bisects the entire bowl. Any thoughts?

My guess would be clay brother.

That would be my guess too, though it is unlike any other clay that I've seen before. It really is a great little smoker too.

Those lines sure look like parting lines off a mould.

yea those lines show it was done in some sort of mould. what type of pipes use moulds? clay?

 

[yaboofive]

great looking clay

The color makes me want to say meer at first, but the coloring is too even. Plus it has that line so I'd say it's a clay

 

[sailorsmoke]

its nice looking clay

 

[ulrich]

My guess would for sure be clay. I've never seen meerschaum with a crease bisecting the pipe like that.

:rofl: TopD I knew someone would come up with something like that!

The color makes me want to say meer at first

thats a very meer looking clay

This is what had me guessing. Storient if you recreate this pipe please put up some pics when it's complete. I wouldn't have imagined that my post might inspire a Storient meer. :D
