Description:
A distinctive vintage character pipe featuring a smooth, stylised carved-wood face forming the bowl, complete with pointed ears, rounded cheeks, and simplified sculptural features. The stem is the standout element: a long, multi-coloured stacked-resin design with alternating rings of teal, amber, white, black, red, and translucent bands. This construction style is typical of mid-century souvenir and folk-art pipes produced across Eastern Europe and Asia during the 1950s–1970s.
The bowl includes a metal inner lining with perforation holes, indicating it was made as a functional smoking piece, though it is now best suited as a collectible or decorative item. The overall form has strong display presence with its bold colours and stylised carving.
