    Gardening Again And Found French Clay Pipe

    I recently found this which turned out to be the remains of a Frenchicon clay pipe, more than 100 years old. When I initially saw it in the ground I thought that it was possibly a broken off spout from a tea pot but after cleaning some of the dirt away I realised that it is, in fact, the remains of a clay pipe. After a further clean up and looking online I figured that the maker, marked on the side, is L. Fiolet, St. Omer, France. It is also marked as No.564

    Due to the skull and cross bones marking on the side I suspect that originally the pipe was in the design of a skulls head although I haven't been able to find another No.564 to cross reference it with.
