AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The hookah has the characteristic compact rectangular base with a water reservoir, a long elegantly curved smoking stem, a separate connector for the tobacco, and a round tobacco tin with a lid. There is also a small original smoking tool included.
The pipe is made of pak-tong, a traditional Chinese white metal alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc that, because of its silvery appearance, is also known as “Chinese silver.”
Stamped Chinese marks are on the bottom, probably originating from the original workshop or manufacturer. The exact maker cannot be determined with certainty due to wear on the stamps.
Will be shipped well-packaged.
