Chinese porcelain blue and white opium water pipe

Museum Archive

A nice example of a Chinese blue and white porcelain cup and saucer smoking water pipe. Ruminants of brown filtered water remain on rim. Used for tobacco and perhaps marijuana, opium smoking was less likely as a flame from match or early lighter would not produce enough heat to melt an opium pellet. Measures approximately 3 inches tall ,5 inches wide.
