Early 1800's Clay Tobacco Pipe

Early 1800's Clay Tobacco Pipe

Thanks to Sir Walter Raleigh, who, in the late 1500's is reputed to be the first to introduce tobacco to England, smoking soon became popular in Elizabethan England and men, women and even children were addicted to the habit. It is said that Sir Walter even offered Queen Elizabeth a pipe although this claim cannot be substantiated. 
The above pipe bowl, the stem missing, was found on the banks of the River Thames and is possibly around the late 1700's to early 1800's, the design being popular at this time.
