The piece is finished as an anatomical skeleton figure — a painted ribcage and spine on the upper chamber, topped with a jester-capped skull mouthpiece, mounted on a smooth tapered beaker base. Built for collectors who want a daily-functional rig that doubles as display art. It ships with an angled glass mouthpiece, removable diffuser downstem, and a 14mm male herb slide with handle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-source-line=\"9-9\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-container\"\u003e\n\u003ctable data-source-line=\"11-21\" class=\"table-scroll-init\"\u003e\n\u003cthead data-source-line=\"11-11\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"11-11\"\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-source-line=\"13-21\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"13-13\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"14-14\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNovelty \/ art water pipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"15-15\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTheme\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanical Skeleton design (jester-skull crown + painted ribcage)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"16-16\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorosilicate glass (thermal-shock resistant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"17-17\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSculpted vinyl overlay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"18-18\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAngled glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"19-19\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJoint Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14mm male herb slide with handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"20-20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDownstem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable diffuser downstem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-source-line=\"21-21\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTapered beaker base for stability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-source-line=\"23-23\"\u003eWhy This Pipe Stands Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"25-25\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass-and-Vinyl Hybrid Construction.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe internal water chamber, downstem, and mouthpiece are pure borosilicate — preserving a clean, non-reactive smoke path.
