My understanding, as a museum with a Controlled Drugs licence, is that
as long as there is no opium present, there is nothing to stop you
holding this legally.

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.

Subject: [SHCG-LIST] Mystery 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
