Clay smoking pipe. 13.2 grams, 4-1/4" long. Dainty little pipe with small bowl and long stem (all intact but typically broken off at mouth end), all white in color, with flower-like mark on base and reeding around rim, first we have offered from this wreck, a Dutch East Indiaman that sank in a storm and triggered a fascinating episode between King James II (whose interest in shipwreck salvaging is well known, for example in the 1687 venture of William Phipps and the Concepción wreck of 1641) and the Dutch government over the wreck and its contents. Recovered from: Princess Maria, sunk in 1686 off the Scilly Isles, southwest of England.
