Commonweal II Tulip # 2349

A Tulip like no other. Some people think they originated in Europe, not so central Asia. Then spread almost everywhere. The rim is definitely of the flower, while the sides are carved similar to the petals skin. This is a large pipe with the shank flaring  at its end. Then joined to a wonderful dark grey black Brindle stem that really sets if off. Plus it is a sitter.
