    An elegant antique Chinese water pipe dating from the 19th century, crafted from fine stoneware covered with a beautiful deep green glaze, typical of the refined folk art of the Qing dynasty.

    Unlike Middle Eastern hookahs, these Chinese water pipes are distinguished by their compact size and individual use. Appearing with the rise of tobacco in China from the 17th century onward, they became part of daily life, used by both commoners and scholars.

    This example perfectly illustrates this tradition:

    a functional yet aesthetically pleasing piece, designed for easy transport and use, while demonstrating masterful ceramic craftsmanship.

    Its compact and harmonious shape, combined with its green glaze, gives it a discreet and authentic decorative presence today.
