This is a handmade pipe created with clay and inspired from the ancient Indian handicraft.  Each piece is worked and tested with detail. Products from Himalayan Range doesn't contain any harmful chemicals or synthesized products that contains lead or anything toxic.  The stem hole is large enough that it shouldn't ever clog, if it does, it will clean easily.  You'll sure love the product and find it as enjoyable to own.

Pottery making is long process.  The pottery piece has to be completely dry before it's fired in a kiln to a temperature of about 1800 degrees f, that allows the piece to be handled and glazed.  Brushing on glaze, (essentially glass with natural elements for color)takes 3 coats for each color, it's very labor intensive and time consuming.  The piece is fired again to 1880 degrees f to melt the glaze onto the piece and removed from the kiln immediately when the glaze has fluxed, red hot, with metal tongs, and put in a container(metal garbage can, a hole in the ground with a lid, etc.)full of combustibles such as newspaper or dried leaves, etc. for the reduction process.  Glazed clay pipes smoke every bit as well as glass or better.  And because of the clay body, is sturdier than glass, not many people eat on glass dinner plates.  Many also think that clay has more character.
