Clay tobacco pipe

Smoking tobacco in a pipe became very popular during the 1700s. However, it was viewed by the upper classes as common, and snuff remained the fashionable way to take tobacco. Clay pipes were only discarded when the stems became too short for comfort. This pipe has 'Cainbier a Paris' marked on the stem.
