Clay pipes were first introduced in the late sixteenth century \u0026amp; remained the principal way of smoking tobacco for over 300 years. Inexpensive to produce \u0026amp; widely available, they were often broken or discarded after relatively short use, making them one of the most frequently recovered archaeological artefacts. Their changing shapes \u0026amp; sizes allow archaeologists to date them with remarkable accuracy, while maker's marks can sometimes reveal where they were produced. Carefully repurposed into wearable jewellery, this fragment preserves a small piece of Britain's social history. transforming an everyday object into a lasting reminder of the lives and habits of the past.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"History Unearthed Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58614334914943,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/7929\/8943\/files\/767C4D04-7B2F-4654-BF26-A80775CE8F80.jpg?v=1791129151","url":"https:\/\/shop.historyunearthed.uk\/products\/little-mudlarked-clay-pipe-stem-earrings","provider":"History Unearthed Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
