The diamond pipe by Goedewaagen,
a remarkable hollow bowl design

De diamantpijp van Goedewaagen,
een opmerkelijk vormgegeven holwandige pijp

By Don Duco

Abstract: The article describes a Goedewaagen hollow bowl system pipe and places that pipe in its history. From 1920 onwards the design for pipes changed considerably when in Gouda the metal moulds were replaced by plaster moulds and the designing of pipes became much more free. The sources for these new models, however, were mainly found in pipes from other makers, such as English and French examples.
