Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Here is the first illustrated retrospective of the storied evolution and continental acceptance of the porcelain pipe. The history of these beautiful pipes is covered in over 145 brilliant photos and detailed, informative text, from their revolutionary introduction as early objets d'art to their eventual eclipse as twentieth century kitsch. While the history, manufacture, and use of clay, meerschaum, and briar tobacco pipes have been thoroughly documented, the authors have now crafted a chronicle about porcelain tobacco pipes. This pipe originated with an eighteenth-century, European design developed in France and in Germany and its production spanned roughly 250 years. Porcelain pipes for student life, sporting coats of arms, commemorating military campaigns, adorned with a wide range of flora and fauna, and much more are illustrated and described. Whether you are a pipe smoker, pipe collector, or someone who appreciates antique and vintage porcelain objects, this vivid narrative is a fascinating read. AUTHOR: Dr. Sarunas Peckus, member of the International Academy of the Pipe and the Confrerie de Jean Nicot, has been collecting antique pipes and tobacciana for over 30 years, has lectured on their history at various venues, and received the Director's Award for "outstanding educational exhibit" at the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club 2009 convention. Ben Rapaport, known globally as a tobacco pipe historian, is also a member of the International Academy of the Pipe, the Confrerie des Maitres Pipiers de Saint-Claude, France, and recipient of "Doctor of Pipes" achievement award. He contributes regularly to Pipes and Tobaccos magazine and occasionally to South Florida Opulence magazine. Illustrated History for Collectors.
