<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuDragon, post: 366978, member: 6974&quot;]Hi Kris,</p><p>It&#039;s a beautiful object and Kyratango is right. What you have is a water pipe and probably for tobacco or can I suggest possibly hashish. You will need to check the condition of your pipe carefully to determine its actual age. Similar items were sold across the world in their thousands about 20-30 years ago as decorative items. They quite regularly appear at auctions and in antique stores. They come from Vietnam where that gorgeous blue and white ceramic has been perfected over the centuries. The dragon fly is also very typical of Vietnamese ceramics. Think shipwrecks and export ceramics. Your pipe does seems to have some age to it. The band around the top looks old, but you would need to see inside the pot to help determine its age. Assuming its been used, look for water marks, accumulated stains, dust etc. Scratches to the surface and even smooth areas indicate a lot of handling. More pictures would be very helpful. I don&#039;t think Indianan Jones found anything like it in his adventures. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
