Description:
A striking mid-century ceramic figural pipe featuring a stylised devil’s head forming the bowl. Finished in a warm caramel-brown glaze, the piece shows exaggerated facial features—arched brows, pointed nose, smirking mouth, and a single sculpted horn. The long curved stem is made from the same ceramic body and finished in matching glaze, giving the entire pipe a unified sculptural presence.
Likely produced between the 1950s–1970s, these novelty devil-themed pipes were made as souvenirs and decorative smoking pieces. This example stands well as a display item thanks to its bold expression, sleek glaze, and intact form.
