Looks like an old post was resurrected. Nonetheless, I'll jump in. Dug this recently...thinking it may be Bacchus? A bit damaged but still neat I thought!

Very nice pipe, Is this clay or Meerscham

It is clay...made in a multipart mold. You can see the mold lines in it.

Not the greatest photo, but I dug this one yesterday. Pretty badly damaged, but one of the strangest face pipes I have dug...green glazed like a piece of southern pottery. Dug in a 1870's privy.

Nhpharm you find some great pipes! The green face looks like this one I found,mine is not pipe but has hole In bottom, possibly topper for something.

Here's my faves from the last few months...
Pipes in a bowl.jpg

...also found a "fox and grapes" pipe stem (w/ other items). The foot of the pipe would have been carved to resemble a hanging bunch of grapes. Wasn't able to locate the bowl.
