Chinese Water Pipe for Opium or Tobacco
All metal
As shown in pictures (I am no expert)
The main parts:
Stand
The pipe with removable bowl
Container for tobacco or opium
Brush with tweezers
Not sure what the bullet is for
The container lid is stamped on the inside with Chinese characters.
The sides of the stand are decorated with shallow engravings of typical Chinese nature scenes which look like copies of line drawings
The narrow sides have Chinese characters.
Total height is 25 cm
The stand is 6.5 x 6.5 x 3 cm.
This design of pipe dates from the first half of the 19th Century.
This one is definitely vintage if not antique and probably dates to the early 20th Century
