Silver Fumed Inside Opal Pipe

This handcrafted silver-fumed inside opal pipe is a stunning fusion of functional artistry and natural beauty, made from durable borosilicate glass and designed to evolve visually over time. Silver fuming, applied to the interior of the pipe during the glassblowing process, creates a mesmerizing, color-shifting effect that develops rich hues of blue, green, and violet as the pipe is used and darkens with resin buildup. Suspended within the clear glass is an encased synthetic or natural opal, glowing with flashes of fiery color—reds, oranges, blues, and greens—that shimmer in the light and intensify against the deepening tones of the fume.
