The two openings on the bottle are out of the ordinary, and the pipe may not e functional, since I don't know how to use it. But the flaws on the bottom do not affect the general good looks of the piece. less

The object contains a small bowl to hold the tobacco, a waste chamber, a pipe, and a mouth piece. This pipe is complete with implements such as the long tweezer to pack the tobacco into the bowl, and a long pin for cleaning. The two dangling "bell" are ornaments. This water pipe has inscriptions on two narrow sides and also on the two hanging ornaments. I have not idea what they mean. The Chinese language used during the Chinese Republic Period is very difficult to translate. This water pipe is rather attractive with the YinYang design. I have no idea when there are two openings on the bottle. less
