>>1862245Porcelain pipes appeared around the 18th cent. (clay around 16th) so if your reenactment falls in there, they're perfect. But to be honest, I can't really see someone walking around smoking one of these outside their home. But porcelain lasts a long time so if you really want one go for it. Me, I'd probably go for an Ulmer pipe over porcelain. Some are smooth, but they can be very elaboratly caved as well.
