AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Crafted from a genuine, naturally grown African gourd (calabash pumpkin), seasoned and dried to a beautiful warm honey-amber patina.
Fitted with a removable top insert made of premium Meerschaum, which takes the direct heat of the tobacco and darkens beautifully over time.
The meerschaum bowl is elegantly trimmed with a wide, solid Sterling Silver rim. The rim bears a crisp set of official British hallmarks stamped by the Chester Assay Office,
• circa 1907:
Mark: B & Co (Broadway & Co., renowned English silversmiths).
• Purity Mark: The Lion Passant, certifying .925 sterling silver purity.
• Town Mark: The three wheat sheaves and a sword, representing Chester.
• Date Letter: The lowercase style "g" denoting the year of assay.
A well-preserved antique collector's piece showing an authentic, rich coloration on both the gourd body and the meerschaum top, complete with micro-scratches on the silver trim consistent with its age and history.
