Hi Peejy,
they are simply called ´Schnapspfeife´ (snaps-pipe) here. The ones made of lampworked glass usually
come from Lauscha / Thuringia.

LOL! I've never seen any of these before.  Remind me of a sophisticated version of a baby feeder, just right for the man who has everything and is going through his second childhood! ;D
