She Sells Sea Shells Glass Water Pipe

Description

The She Sells Sea Shells Glass Water Pipe by Trident is an impressive piece standing between 14 and 16 inches tall. Crafted from 44mm wide and 4mm thick clear Pyrex, this pipe ensures both durability and clarity. Following the creation of its classic bubble base, the glass undergoes silver fuming, resulting in a captivating color change that shifts between shades of blue and green. The flared mouthpiece and the ice indent in the midsection offer both functional and aesthetic appeal, while the old-school Mercury Seal joint ensures a secure connection. Each piece comes with a matching color bowl and a lifelike glass sculpture of a Conch Shell, accompanied by a charming assortment of undersea critters. Drawing inspiration from Jerome Baker Designs, Trident incorporates artistic elements and decoration into the design, including the downstem.

In the past, water pipes had a hole punctured in the midsection, which was then reinforced to accept a rubber grommet. While this process still takes place, Trident’s modern craft method follows the lead of scientific lamp working and utilizes a Mercury Seal achieved by grinding the inner wall to accommodate a glass-on-glass downstem connection. The She Sells Sea Shells Glass Water Pipe features a lower profile Mercury Seal joint, which sets it apart from most joints and reduces the risk of breakage.

Another notable feature is the hand-blown diffuser, an extra step that enhances functionality. Unlike machine-made diffusers that create intense residual stress, hand-blown round hole diffusers are fire polished and annealed for maximum strength and long-term durability. Beautifully hand-decorated and proudly made in the USA, this piece exemplifies Trident’s commitment to artistry and quality.
