Antique Meerschaum Smoking Pipe with Silver Figural Standing Lion Top & Mounts

About the Item

This antique meerschaum smoking pipe bowl is unsigned, but presumed to have been made in Germany or Austria in approximately 1900 in the period Biedermeier style. The body of the pipe is composed of meerschaum and has silver mounts featuring a standing figural lion with one paw on a ball on the top. The silver is not hallmarked, but believed to be 800 silver.

There is a silver shield on the front of the pipe body that shows no monogram.
