antique rare Persian smoke pipe,VERY RARE,estate sale

Description

This RARE antique “Persian” specialty” pipe is a absolute JOY to use as it was designed SPECIFICALLY FOR “the smoker’s pleasures in mind”,....however,...it IS also a pipe collector’s dream...because it is RARE to find one in good shape..
This  VERY rare  antique smoking pipe was used in Persia,I was told,by the antique dealer that sold it to me,. And he said it was used by those who chose to smoke ANYTHING they wanted,including,but not limited to tobacco,in their pipe,thus ,the unique design specifically designed to make the smoking experience not only a enjoyable experience,but specifically for your own consumption.
Probably  hand made during the option wars”  between 1839-40 between  England and China,however, this is only my personal estimate.
I bought this at a local antique store years ago ,which is still in business.
I was told by the owner that this pipe is silver plate metal ends and a teak wood tube in between.(* I do not know if this information is correct)
* the case appears to me,to be “bacolite
It has a unique design ( artwork),on the outside of the case
