The Jamestowne style of pipe is a mid-17th century colonial-era pipe designed for smoking a "pinch" of pipe tobacco. This style of pipe was a very popular design back when tobacco was still considered an expensive commodity. The Jamestowne features a decorative line of milling around the rim of the bowl as well as a defined “heel” at the base of the bowl. These are fashioned from non-toxic, commercially produced clay, and bisque fired, as were the originals. In order to keep the pipes historically accurate, the pipe stems are not glazed.
