(Baonghean.vn) - This unique pipe is owned by Mr. Bui Ngoc Thuan, a coffee shop owner in Dong Nai, Chau Quang, Quy Hop. There are not many designs, nor are there any expensive items attached, but Mr. Thuan's pipe has been offered a high price by many rich people but he did not sell it.
 |
From afar, the pipe of Mr. Thuan, Dong Nai village, Chau Quang, Quy Hop has a dark brown color, which is the result of the process of water rising after a long time of "plowing smoke" of the pipe. |
 |
The body of the pipe is made from smooth bamboo. He chose the bamboo and hired someone to craft it in a mountainous district of Thanh Hoa province. |
 |
The bowl and foot of the pipe are made of ebony (a rare wood in Vietnam) and purchased in Bac Ninh province. |
 |
The large bowl is made of ebony, covered with copper on the outside. |
 |
Some parts of the pipe such as the head, middle, cross, end... are covered with copper very carefully, eye-catching. |
 |
The base of this special water pipe is carved by the craftsman into two fish rising up, very delicately. |
 |
The most special thing about the pipe is the sound it makes when the smoker puffs. It sounds like someone pulling a folding iron door. Mr. Thuan bought this pipe more than 4 years ago, many people have offered to pay tens of millions of dong but he still won’t sell it. |
 |
He always takes it with him wherever he goes. He is currently having a carpenter make a stand to display the pipe in a prominent place in his home. |
 |
In addition to the above pipe, Mr. Thuan also owns many other strange and unique pipes. |
