Vintage signed Ceramic Tobacco Water Pipe Genuine RUMPH MIND CIRCUS, 1975 GREMLIN .
Condition is Used (of course) but SLIDE IS INTACT! This character is in great vintage condition other than a stable chip on the inner rim (I'm sure this chip was well earned!) chip is on inner edge so barely detracts from the grandness of this piece.
About 6 3/4..." tall, 3 1/4" x 2 3/4" base. Sure to become a favorite piece!
Here's a little dated background pulled from a web expert:
"Jim Rumph Mind Circus water pipe. Depicts a gremlin with a pentagram on the gremlin's forehead. The gremlin is holding his dick area which is where the slide for the pipe should be. His other hand is on the side of his face. In 2003 this pipe was rare. In 2013 its rarity has increased. These pipes rarely have the original slide which has pottery fired around the aluminum slide to match the color of the gremlin."
