Germany, Late 19th Century. Reserve Soldier's Pipe Made Of Porcelain And Horn
By the end of the 19th century, the rivalry between Germany and France had reached its peak.
Every opportunity was seized to highlight our country’s defeats, particularly those of Napoleon I.
A simple pipe became a propaganda object, representing Waterloo , the emperor’s final downfall.
It consists of a two-part painted porcelain bowl and a horn stem.
Note the quality of the craftsmanship, made from various sections of turned horn in different colors.
There is a chip on the base of one porcelain section, otherwise, it is in good overall condition.
