Spoon Pipes

Spoon pipes are the most common dry pipe design, featuring a bowl, carb hole, and curved body that fits comfortably in the hand. The name comes from the shape: a rounded bowl end that tapers into a straight or slightly curved stem leading to the mouthpiece. The carb hole, typically placed on the side of the bowl, allows airflow control by covering and releasing it during a hit. This creates a two-stage pull, where the chamber fills with smoke before being cleared by releasing the carb. Spoons range from compact, pocket-sized pieces to full-length pipes. Smaller spoons emphasize portability and discretion, while larger models provide a longer smoke path and a more comfortable grip. Bowl size varies with pipe length and intended use, from shallow pinch bowls to deeper chambers designed for multiple pulls. Thicker glass construction and reinforced bowls improve durability, which is especially important for pieces meant to travel. The spoon format is a common foundation for heady glass work. Its curved body allows artists to incorporate color, fuming, sculpting, and surface details without interfering with function. Worked spoons may feature subtle color accents and clean shaping, or more involved designs with sculpted elements and decorative glass techniques, while still maintaining the familiar spoon layout.
