Unglazed pipe made of white clay,

This is one of Gottfried Aust's smooth, plain style pipes. This style pipe was manufactured in the Bethabara Pottery between 1756-1771. Aust's pipes were made with a pipe press and brass molds. The mold seam is visible all of the way around the pipe. Seven different style pipes were recovered from Aust's waster dumps. Four smooth-surfaced, one fluted with a fleur-de-lis design, and two anthropomorphic styles.

This pipe was recovered from the feature identified as B51 Aust’s Waster Dump #2, indicating this pipe was made between 1756 and 1760.

Dimensions: 2” long, 1.625” tall, 1” wide
