The pipes, the pipes are calling thingie!

[malcyp]

Ivo, Mal, didn't Pukeburg make stationery sets with that crosshatched base? May be somewhere to start looking?

Looks as though it could be for avocado halves..........

[malcyp]

they would be very small avocados,
i will look in to pukeberg,what a name eh,it suits the piece in a way because if you look at it too long it makes you dizzy!

I'd also look at Zwiesel for this double pipe holder - but it could have been made by any number of glass houses. I'm not sure you can find this out, it would have been made for a third party who distributes in tobacconists.

[malcyp]

so it is a pipe holder then?

[Ivo]

definitely.

[malcyp]

oh well, it still looks good as a piece of art even if i don't smoke a pipe.
