Fragment of a clay tobacco pipe, consisting of the undamaged bowl and a very short section of stem. The mould-made bowl is decorated so as to resemble the bottom half of an acorn sat in its cupule. The stalk of the cupule forms the start of the pipe's stem. The exterior surface textures of the bowl match the textures of an acorn - so smooth acorn at the top, roughened cupule towards the stem. Mould marks are clearly visible on the bowl, and it is slightly ovalised (19.5 x 22.7mm). The bowl has the remains of a sharp spur at the bottom. The short section of stem has …

The following description and notes by David Higgins are taken from his report in the Society for Clay Pipe Research Newsletter 102 (2022).  An unmarked heel bowl made of quite a soft-fired fabric that has weathered on the surface to expose some sparse sandy inclusions that mainly appear dark or black to the naked eye.  The rim has been milled but it is slightly chipped and so abraded that the extent cannot be determined, nor whether it was burnished originally.  The stem bore is just under 8/64”.  This is an early bowl, and the soft-fired, slightly …
