Dianjiang Ox Horn Smoking Set

Dianjiang Ox Horn Smoking Set

　　Produced in Dianjiang, Chongqing.

This smoking set was first created in the early years of the Republic of China when cigarettes began to appear on the market. Artisans who originally crafted water pipes for smoking shredded tobacco adapted to the market changes and smokers’ needs by inventing long and short smoking rods made of a combination of ox horn, bamboo, and copper—items that became quite popular. They are solid in texture, elegant in shape, exquisitely crafted, brightly colored, compact and delicate, as well as lightweight and convenient to use.
