Chinese opium pipe, metal, long stem with cup bowl, chased scrolls, probably 19th/20th century Metal, opium pipe, China, long straight silver-coloured stem, with a thickened section towards the bowl, plain tapering mouthpiece with rounded end, at the other end a small, angled cup-shaped bowl, stem chased towards the bowl with scrolls, leaf forms and arch motifs, condition commensurate with age, decoration heavily worn, L. 64 cm. Tobacco reached China in the late 16th century; in the Qing dynasty (1644 to 1912) a distinct smoking culture developed with pipes of bamboo, ceramic, metal and rare woods. Long, thin metal pipes were given stems of bronze, brass or silver. Chinese opium pipes of the 19th century were also made as gifts or commissions for high-ranking persons, as shown by a piece dated by inscription in the Harvard Art Museums.
