[/b][/color][/font] [/quote] There are often vases like this on Ebay usually labelled Qajar, sometimes labeled Ottoman. They are always offered for big money, up to $600. The "kings" shown on the vases are either [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozaffar_al-Din_Shah_Qajar"]Mozaffar al-Din Shah Qajar[/url] or his son [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naser_al-Din_Shah_Qajar"]Naser al-Din Shah Qajar[/url] both who lived and reigned in the late 19th and early20th centuries. But these vases have to be modern, I've seen them done,usually as bell jars but sometimes in a pyramid lab flask style,the kind Sheecool uses. I suspect they are being made recently and being passed off as antiques on eBay. I really came close to buying one once, but their just fakes.

Maybe they all cracked on the score marks during shipping, but they are broke in 3 pieces per stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nars2k Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I actually have a Persian hookah ( I think I posted a picture of it some time ago) There are many which are made purely for decorative purposes and have jewels and studs and what not on them. But as joytron said since the hookahs are made from wood after some use you start to get "ghosting" , especially if you are smoking something that is very juicy ( unless you use a phunnel) because the wood seems to get stained in with the molasses.

Epoch Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I like how the description claims that "chrome looking" hookahs are fake. That's pretty cool, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 no, it could be fully operational without a metal tube. Personally I'd add one if i bought this piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I bought the same pipe from the same seller. Quick shipping and he sent me a ton of extra shit. Most of it was indeed that... shit... but it was cool anyways. He was pretty generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
