This is an Asian opium pipe from the mid to late 1800's. The reason I've been more general is that the writing on the 16"x 6" brass pipe have been checked through someone versed in Japanese characters and a person who knows Chinese characters. According to the Chines expert, it appears to be Japanese symbols, while my Japanese contact said that it could be earlier generation writing, one that her great grandparents might understand. Regardless, it's a nice vintage item that would be a great addition to any Asian art collection. Please see photos for more detail and condition.
