The European Porcelain Tobacco Pipe

“While the history, manufacture and use of clay, meerschaum and briar pipes have been thoroughly documented, the authors have now crafted a chronicle about porcelain tobacco pipes… For a pipe smoker, non smoker,. pipe collector or someone who appreciates antique and vintage porcelain objects, this is a fascinating read.” - David Aldous-Cook, Antiques & Collectors Trader Sept 2015

Dr. Sarunas Peckus, member of the International Academy of the Pipe and the Confrérie de Jean Nicot, has been collecting antique pipes and tobacciana for over 30 years, has lectured on their history at various venues, and received the Director’s Award for “outstanding educational exhibit” at the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club 2009 convention.

He contributes regularly to Pipes & Tobaccos magazine and occasionally to South Florida Opulence magazine.
