Our interests also include hand painted antique German porcelain pipe bowls, antique Chinese Opium pipes, antique Japanese pipes and pipe sets, quality carved antique Treen pipes, and smoking related antique rarities.
Please note our prices are not carved in stone, and in the true spirit of antique dealing, are open to realistic negotiation.
