Description
Brown ware pipe with a large section of the bowl broken and missing. The pipe body is made of white clay and is covered with a manganese lead glaze, producing a dark brown, slightly speckled, glossy finish.
This is one of Gottfried Aust's smooth, plain style pipes. Aust's pipes were made with a pipe press and brass molds. 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. The mold seam is quite prominent. A large piece of the bowl is missing.
This pipe was recovered from the feature identified as B51 Aust’s Waster Dump #2, indicating this pipe was made between 1756 and 1760. It is labelled B51-4-2-3.
Dimensions: 2” long, 1.625” tall, 1” wide
