Download or read book The European Porcelain Tobacco Pipe written by Ben Rapaport and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first illustrated retrospective of the storied evolution and continental acceptance of the porcelain pipe. The history of these beautiful pipes is covered in over 145 brilliant photos and detailed, informative text, from their revolutionary introduction as early objets d'art to their eventual eclipse as twentieth century kitsch. While the history, manufacture, and use of clay, meerschaum, and briar tobacco pipes have been thoroughly documented, the authors have now crafted a chronicle about porcelain tobacco pipes. This pipe originated with an eighteenth-century, European design developed in France and in Germany and its production spanned roughly 250 years. Porcelain pipes for student life, sporting coats of arms, commemorating military campaigns, adorned with a wide range of flora and fauna, and much more are illustrated and described. Whether you are a pipe smoker, pipe collector, or someone who appreciates antique and vintage porcelain objects, this vivid narrative is a fascinating read.

Download or read book Clay Tobacco pipes with Particular Reference to the Bristol Industry written by Iain C. Walker and published by National Historic Parks and Sites Branch, Parks Canada. This book was released on 1977 with total page 1036 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study considers clay tobacco-pipe manufacture with specific reference to the industry in Bristol. As a background, the basic archaeological usefulness of clay pipes as a means to date sites is outlined, the introduction of tobacco to Europeans considered, and the various methods of tobacco-taking over the centuries examined. An extensive examination of clay-pipe manufacturing processes in France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Great Britain and the US is made, along with a history of the pipe industry in most of these countries. The pipemaking industries in five centres; Liverpool, Chester, Glasgow, Montreal, and East London, are considered and related to the Bristol situation. Also considers production costs for clay pipes and wages earned by pipemakers. The origins, rise, decline, re-emergence, and final demise of the Bristol clay-pipe industry is examined in detail in the light of documentary and archaeological evidence. Trends are noted from the apprenticeship rolls, burgess books, poll-books, and trade directories and the interrelationships of the evidence are evaluated. Also considers the historical and socio-economic background of the ghetto of St. Jude's, a pipemaking area.

Download or read book An Archaeology of the English Atlantic World 1600 1700 written by Charles E. Orser, Jr. and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Archaeology of the British Atlantic World, 1600–1700 is the first book to apply the methods of modern-world archaeology to the study of the seventeenth-century English colonial world. Charles E. Orser, Jr explores a range of material evidence of daily life collected from archaeological excavations throughout the Atlantic region, including England, Ireland, western Africa, Native North America, and the eastern United States. He considers the archaeological record together with primary texts by contemporary writers. Giving particular attention to housing, fortifications, delftware, and stoneware, Orser offers new interpretations for each type of artefact. His study demonstrates how the archaeological record expands our understanding of the Atlantic world at a critical moment of its expansion, as well as to the development of the modern, Western world.

Download or read book Europa Postmediaevalis 2020 written by Gabriela Blažková and published by Archaeopress Archaeology. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-medieval pottery in the spare time is a collection of papers planned for what would have been the second Europa Postmediaevalisconference. The focus is on the Early Modern period (15th to 18th centuries) and the growing use of new ceramic forms for leisure activities. Although the conference itself could not be held, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume nevertheless brings together 28 contributions from authors from nine countries, from Portugal to Russia, from Italian Sardinia to Polish Stargard. A finds assemblage from the United Arab Emirates published by Portuguese colleagues, represents the tenth country. The volume comprises several subtopics which at first glance seem diverse. And yet, be they smoking, drinking coffee or alcohol, garden strolls or games, they share one thing in common: they are hobbies and vices enjoyed mainly in one's free time. In the Early Modern period, these were typically activities of a rather luxurious nature, initially reserved for those with loftier positions in society but which, over time, gradually filtered down to the lower economic classes. It is therefore not surprising that the greater demand for new activities was also reflected in pottery production. As such, new ceramic forms such as cups, pipes and flowerpots began to appear in Early Modern archaeological assemblages and form the basis of this anthology. The volume will provide readers with useful comparison assemblages and serve as a source of inspiration for subsequent research.

Download or read book Clay Tobacco Pipes and the Fur Trade of the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains written by Michael A. Pfeiffer and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-12 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clay tobacco pipes are a unique form of artifact that has been recovered from the earliest colonial period sites to those of the early twentieth century. Archaeologists have found this artifact category useful for interpretive purposes due to their rapid technological and typological change, decoration, and maker's marks. Lack of adequate reporting in older site reports precludes a wide range of interpretive values intrinsic to this artifact category. A detailed study of tobacco pipe assemblages from the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains, in an 1800 to 1890s time frame, demonstrates the interpretive value of this category on an intrasite, regional, and interregional basis. The detailed analysis given the pipes and pipe assemblages provides a historical background that encompasses the artifacts, the manufacturers, the sites, the relationships of the sites, and their place in the development of these regions. These tobacco pipes reflect the marketing and trade histories of these regions as well as many of the cultural subgroups.
