Masterpieces from the Dutch soil

25 ottobre 2026

To mark the release of the new handbook, we are displaying a selection of pipes in the central showcase, the of trouvaille every amateur archaeologist dreams of finding. Each one is a unique piece, crafted with intricate handwork. One features a bowl shaped like a face wearing a large wig with ringlets; another has eight bowls mounted on one single stem. They were created as showpieces for pipe makers' workshops, as pipe shops did not yet exist in the seventeenth century. These exceptional pipes are on display until 25 January 2027.

4,000 kilograms of books on pipes

21 ottobre 2026

Today is the long-awaited day: the delivery driver arrived with a stock of newly printed handbooks. A large truck brought six pallets to our storage facility, while a seventh was delivered to our location on Prinsengracht. The books are neatly shrink-wrapped and packed in boxes of four. Sales will begin next week. The first orders have already come in, thanks to a mailing sent to our target audience. Just a little more patience, and the books will be on their way to our customers. We hope that this new and highly comprehensive book will provide a boost to research into pipes.
