Long, sectioned ivory opium pipe with pewter saddle near the closed end. In the saddle is a octagonal brass bowl with copper lining, which has a small hole at top centre where the opium paste was inserted. The pipe is incised with flower vase and pots near the mouthpiece, followed by a landscape scene. The Eight Daoist Immortals adorn the middle section with bamboo, chrysanthemum and fruits at the lower section. The lobed rectangular saddle is decorated in repousse with bats and characters representing double happiness and longevity at the central panel, bordered by a pair of rhyming couplets at both sides, zither at top and scrolls at bottom. The bowl is punched with semicircular floral motifs along the sides, and Chinese inscriptions, 'zhen zhi yun', 'precious fungus cloud' punched on the underside. Signs of use.
