Description:
A striking vintage devil-head character pipe featuring a sharply carved face with pointed ears, protruding fangs, and a bold red tongue. The styling is typical of mid-century European folk-art souvenir pipes, especially those inspired by Alpine Krampus and devil motifs. The long stem is decorated with colourful inlaid bands and dot-pattern accents, giving the pipe a vibrant, decorative appearance.
Comes with its original fitted soft case.
Likely produced between the 1960s–1980s, this piece blends hand-finished carving with molded resin elements and applied decorative detailing. A highly displayable example of mid-century character pipes.
