Pipe

Pratt ware pipe modelled as a seaman with the incised inscription on his hat 'JOLLY SAILOR'. The figure is decorated in coloured glazes with a blue coat, blue and ochre striped trousers and a brown hat. He is standing against a green mound with foliage and a spotted yellow snake behind him, holding a glass in his left hand and a pipe in his right. The pipe stem goes through the snake to the bowl in the sailor's mouth. Both the ends are damaged.
