We are now in a new sphere of Pipe-Land: a Kind of slack water between European & Asiatic systems—in which the Turkish type predominates thus the upper Red clay bowl on the opposite page is quite Turkish & the handsome Arab Pipe of a form seen often smoked riding on a Camel shews us how decoration will now be introduced in a new form. The Stem of this Pipe is beautiful in Colour, the Ivory having a very beautiful arabesque pattern upon it, the red colour of which harmonises delightfully with the dark wood & bowl. The Large bowl is decidedly for House or Tent service.
