Civil War Era Clay Bowls

Civil War era clay bowls. The same or similar to clay pipes used during the Civil War. These bowls were fired in the early part of the 20th century and are the last ones made from the original molds.

Styles vary as shown. We will try to vary the styles in your order when you purchase more than one, but there are only a few bowls with the stripes. Your order may consist soley of the dotted bowls, which actually seem to work better with the reed stems that we have.

Please Note: We NOW HAVE stems for these pipes! One reed stem will ship with each pipe bowl ordered.
You can now purchase stems as a separate item. Cleck here for details.

Price: $10.00

We are running low on reed stems. If you can supply us with reeds, send us an email.
We will be glad to send you one of these antique Pamplin clay pipe bowls for a supply of stems.
