About the Item

Designed to resemble a scroll-form altar table, this narrow footed box has an elegant silhouette with waterfall sides and minimal ornamentation. Dated to the late 19th century, the box is crafted of a dark hardwood and was once used to elevate an opium smoker's collection of pipe bowls, a removable element of the opium pipe often made of fine materials such as jade, yixing red clay, or agate. Pipe bowls would have been placed stem-down into each of three holes atop the stand and any falling debris or ash (dross) was collected in the shallow drawer below.
