Many thanks Mark and Steph. Mark – Could I ask you if the enquirer need to take this further? Or, do I need to advise them on the item if they wished to sell it? We don’t get many of these in the Midlands. J

This is an opium pipe, not sure about the legalities of ownership with this. (I used to be Curator for Customs and Excise so saw a lot of these!) They also come with enamel decoration.

object
Hi,
This lovely object was bought in over the weekend. It’s made from possibly electroplated silver and has removable tweezers and has what looks like to be Chinese hallmarks.
Thing is, it doesn’t look like anything we have in the collections? Has anyone come across one of these?
Many thanks
Becki
