Hookah hookah, also known as hookah, hookah pipe. Water absorbing tobacco is a traditional Chinese way of smoking. The elegance of smoking is not only the material, but also the identity and status of the user. Before and after the founding of New China, the hookah basically withdrew from the smoking stage. Nowadays, the hookahs that lasted for about 200 years have already entered the collector's field of vision. Usually, the well-made and finely carved hookahs have climbed from 2,000 to 3,000 yuan in the Tibetan city several years ago. Individual treasures can even reach several million yuan. The identification of the hookah can refer to the following points: 1: The hookah is made of white copper (the alloy of silver and copper) on the production material. It is more high-grade with ivory, painted enamel (a kind of Western craft), and the wrong gold is wrong. 2: The structure of the hookah is much more peculiar and more complicated than other smoking articles. In addition to shaped pots, most hookahs consist of copper tubes, straws, water buckets, smoke bins, hand rests, needles, tweezers, small brushes and related parts. 3: The hookah is relatively regular and regular on the model, and the smooth connection of straight lines and curves is pursued.
