This is an antique Japanese kiseru (煙管)from the mid Meiji Era (c. 1870). It has a silver alloy bronze mouth piece and bronze bowl with bamboo center. It is quite elegant and compact and still has a nice draw. It is signed by the Japanese Meiji era maker. Along with a warm centuries old patina, this kiseru has a good draw and is still very functional.
This 150 plus year old antique kiseru measures 6 1/2" (16.5 cm) long. It has been well used, yet well loved and, along with its warm aged patina, this kiseru remains in very good (functional) condition. There are a few minor stains on the warm aged patina. The last picture (not included) shows a wood block print from the early 1800's of a geisha holding a kiseru similar to this one. A nice, compact, very functional antique kiseru.
