HookahAbroad Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Here are a few pics of my antique nargile. Please let me know if you have any questions. This pipe has quite an amazing history! So here is the jewel of my collection. There has never been another nargile that has interested me so much. I hope you can understand the unique history of nargile by seeing these images. Please let me know what you think! Oh, it was expensive. The cost of three Meduse pipes I estimate. HA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbat89 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thats a really nice exotic little pipe. I would consider making it smokable (if you havent already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightHawk63 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) That is an awesome pipe! I love how intricate everything is on it, amazing craftsmanship. Is that your collection? Edited May 18, 2013 by KnightHawk63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahAbroad Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 That is an awesome pipe! I love how intricate everything is on it, amazing craftsmanship. Is that your collection? I took these pictures the day I picked it up (and a lot more) from the antiquities dealer. It was a major hassle to buy this piece because I required a certificate from the Turkish government authenticating it. It is part of my family now!

HookahAbroad Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Oh, if you haven't noticed... Those are poppy's all over the nargile. The history of this pipe has a LOT to do with the poppies all over it... I don't want to talk too much about it here because I am not sure where a history lesson might turn into banishment. Mushy, let me know if you want a historical explanation of any part of the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It is really neat to see antiques like this that actually stay inside the community instead of just someone who wants a decorative piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 ya, most of us know that they weren't originally used for tobacco. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavo21 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 man i still would love to add that to my collection its so amazing and unique and yes more history is awesome, but we know what poppies are a derivative for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 For what it's worth they don't look like poppies to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightHawk63 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 For what it's worth they don't look like poppies to me My thoughts. The flowers look like sunflowers, the long stems look like wheat stalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
