My son gave me a very long clay tavern pipe for Xmas several years ago... and thought it was so finely done that he accompanied it with a clay just like yours so I could have the contrast of the two sizes.(And probably because I am not known for my grace and coordination!) I keep both right on top of my desk to both remind me of him and his lovely wife, and have it but a grasp away for a delightful little smoke-break as the inspiration arises! Congrats on you and yours!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
