Mega Marble Glass Water Pipe

The Mega Marble Glass Water Pipe by Trident stands between 12 and 14 inches tall. It is fabricated on 44mm wide by 4mm wall thickness clear pyrex. The mouthpiece is flared and the mid section offers an ice indent and an old school Mercury Seal joint. Each color variant offers a matching color bowl and a spectacular dichro marble that picks up the decoration colors behind the dichro.

Many of the lathe operators and tube arters come from a large lamp working tree with it’s roots in the soil of Jerome Baker Designs. You can see the inspirations from JBD in not only the art and decoration, but also in the downstem. It used to be that a hole was popped in the midsection of water pipes. After the proper hole size was attained, the hole was reinforced to accept a rubber grommet.

All of that process still happens, but modern craft method at Trident takes its lead from scientific lamp working and employs a Mercury Seal by grinding the inner wall to accept a glass on glass downstem. The lower profile of the Mercury Seal joint on the Mega Marble Glass Water Pipe does not stick out like most joints. This is important because it is much more work to make the joint much less susceptible to breakage.

Another functionally superior extra step is fire polishing the saw cuts on the diffuser. Wet saws create intense residual stress around the slits the machines grind into the glass to make diffusers. These diffuser downstems have been fire polished and annealed to maximize strength and long term durability.
