{"product_id":"extremely-rare-staffordshire-puzzle-pipe-pratt-colors","title":"Extremely Rare Staffordshire Puzzle Pipe Pratt Colors","description":"Pipe whimseys, also called puzzle pipes, were made by Staffordshire potters in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They were said to have been made at the end of the day, with leftover pieces of clay. Though tobacco could be smoked from the pipes, they were primarily intended as decorative pieces of “whimsy,” objects made to stir the imagination and stimulate the mind. An extremely rare Staffordshire puzzle pipe as found.  I bought it to display and possibly have restored, but have since changed paths.  These are extremely hard to come by.  It has a lot of flaws so I'd like it to go to someone who's actually going to restore it or display.  I am open to offers as this is quite a rare thing it was hard to put a price on it.","brand":"Antiques by Jessica Cutler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48149715583231,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/4772\/6079\/files\/86e76383-il_fullxfull.6494970362_3zk9.jpg?v=1770665538","url":"https:\/\/antiquesbyjessicacutler.com\/products\/extremely-rare-staffordshire-puzzle-pipe-pratt-colors","provider":"Antiques by Jessica Cutler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
