Made Solely by Heather Coleman since 1998

Here you will find an ever-changing selection of the clay pipes that I have designed and made, many of them based on originals. Over the years I have produced for Smokers, Collectors, Re-enactors, Movies, TV and Theatre.

Each pipe I make is carefully formed and hand finished giving you a finely crafted product. My aim has always been to provide pipes that will be admired and enjoyed - even destined to become sought-after antiques of the future! Some are inspired by old pieces in my collection and I often try to emulate the elegance and quirks that those display.

Long Tudor Clay Pipe



My long Tudor pipe is based on original pieces in my collection dating from around 1590-1610. These have tiny bowls the size of the tip of a finger that allow just a pinch of tobacco and are good for testing various flavours without tainting a larger bowl. Of course in the Tudor period tobacco was so expensive that few could afford to use more than a pinch now and then.

17th Century style WHITE clay pipe



This style pipe has a bowl form that would be suitable for the time period of 1630 through to 1670 so it covers quite a time range for re-enactments. The style would be more suited for a mid-range date of 1650, being larger for 1630 but small for 1670. These are short pieces pressed in the mould, then trimmed and I burnish these all over leaving them with a smooth finish. A line of milling is added to the rim as originals had.

17th century style BLACK clay pipe



This style pipe has a bowl form that would be suitable for the time period of 1630 through to 1670 so it covers quite a time range for re-enactments. The style would be more suited for a mid-range date of 1650, being larger for 1630 but small for 1670. These are short pieces pressed in the mould, then trimmed and I burnish these all over leaving them with a smooth finish. What makes them exciting is that I have made them using a genuine Black clay, which I hope will appeal to people for a number of reasons. Black clay is one of the more exotic clays I sometimes use in the studio. Although it is termed black it is actually a very dark brown. A line of milling is added to the rim as originals had.

Forest Deer Clay Pipe



A design I was first producing over a decade ago - I am pleased to bring you another batch of this pipe which has a deer in a forest on one side and acorns on the other. The style of pipe takes inspiration from English and Dutch pipes of the mid 17th century so is suitable for reenactments of that period.

17th Century Mariners Clay Pipe



I created this design several years ago based on original clay pipes in my collection made for early Dutch Mariners of the 17th Century. The original idea for this pipe is thought to have been based on the Biblical character of Jonah and the Whale, although I think the creature on the stem looks more like a sea serpent with scales and teeth, which a whale would not have. It might even be that they were first produced because of tales of early colonists in the Florida swamps who were confronted with alligators. Further still there are tales that this pipe represents Sir Walter Raleigh being vomited by an alligator because of the awful stench of tobacco on him! Either way my copy here based on originals is sure to thrill and make a great talking piece.

Dawnmist Mulberry Clay Pipe



This design once again takes inspiration from original pieces in my collection dating from the mid to late 17th Century and brings them to life. Mulberry pipes were produced by several makers in England and they were a popular choice for smokers then as few clays were decorated at that time. I hope you will find it appeals in this Century too!

Dutch Short 18th Century Clay Pipe



This pipe is suitable for re-enactments of the 18th Century. The bowl form is a stylised version of the fashionable funnel/egg shaped bowls used by the Dutch during that period. Originals were often much longer than my version, but the length is very suitable being not too short for general use but not long enough to break too easily. There is a line of milling applied to the rim as originals had.

PIPE SPECIFICATIONS

Mermaids & Pirates Clay Pipe



This design once again takes inspiration from original Dutch pipes dating from the early 18th Century and brings them to life in a new way. Original Dutch pipes are amazing to look at in that they sometimes contain all sorts of themes such as men and women or scenes of life at that time. The detailing is always well executed on such pipes. I bring you my own design here which portrays a swimming mermaid on one side and a pirate seated on a barrel with a bottle, glass of grog and a pipe. His ship is in the distance.

Faux Clay Pipes for Movie Maker's





One of the things I have noticed over the many years I have been providing clay pipes for Movies and TV is that in many background scenes the actors have their hand over the bowl of the pipe so all you see is the stem.
I have created this group of hand-made faux pipes specially for this purpose which is a cost effective way for you to have the appearance of clay pipes in the background scenes of some shots.

You get everything in the picture here for the price given. P&P on this group is charged at the usual cost for one just pipe!

Because these are all made by hand you get a fairly random selection of lengths, thicknesses, some being curved and others straight. These are solid pieces of clay with a flattened bend end at the bowl, they have no holes in them and no smoking chambers.

London 1740 Pipe



Based on a typical London style that was around 1740. It will however be fine for re-enactments covering a wider date range of about 1690 to 1780 for any re-enactment location as London had a huge export business in the 18th Century. I have made this pipe a nice handy shorter length.

The base has a "slipper" shaped heel which makes a handy grip either while paking the pipe or smoking it.

Decorated Tudor clay pipe by Dr David Higgins



I have taken stock of a few decorated Tudor style clay pipes which were made by my friend Dr David Higgins. David usually writes reports on clay pipes for archaeological publications and now and then he makes a few of these lovely pipes.

This design is based on original English pipes of the 1580-1600 period and have really small bowls the size of the tip of a little finger. David has decorated the stem of each pipe by hand with an array of tiny stamps which really make these special. I was almost tempted to keep them all myself!

The pipes are burnished all over and have what he calls an antique finish which make them look a pleasant ivory white colour.
