A cloisonné enamel pipe features a long, cylindrical stem of deep blue patterned with multi-colored flowers and vessels in white, red, and yellow. Textured green caps finish both ends. Near the right, a dark brown, saucer-shaped bowl with a central opening attaches to a raised pink and blue section. The entire object extends diagonally, tilting upward toward the left.
