This vintage brass hookah from 20th-century Gujarat is a fine example of traditional metal craftsmanship. It rests on a circular base, providing stability, while the middle portion features a slight indentation that enhances its elegant design. The top narrows down to an opening, where the smoking bowl would have been placed, and a spout extends from the middle portion—once used to hold the pipe for smoking.

Hookahs have been a part of Indian culture since the Mughal era, originally made from coconut shells before evolving into intricate brass and silver designs. In Gujarat, artisans often incorporated regional styles and motifs, making each piece unique. Beyond being a recreational item, the hookah held social and diplomatic significance, with its use symbolizing hospitality and camaraderie. Some historical records even suggest that hookahs were used in Ayurvedic practices, with herbal infusions believed to have medicinal benefits.

Whether displayed as a collector’s item or used ceremonially, this hookah is a testament to Gujarat’s artistic heritage and the enduring cultural significance of this age-old tradition.
