Ancient Creations Ceramic Pipes

 

Ancient Creations Ceramics is a small, home based ceramic smokeware company and artist collective from Sthe Pacific Northwest, providing ceramic hand pipes, smokestones, one-hitters, water pipes, and hookahs to smoke shops since 1995. Ceramic pipes may be considered old school to some long-time smokers, and that’s fine and dandy, because those customers are into traditional. Then there is the new generation of cannabis enthusiasts to whom ceramics represent a unique, American-made, affordable smoking device — not to mention amazingly functional in its simplicity. The solid chamberless and carbless design of Ancient Creations hand pipes, for example, makes for a superiorly strong and durable pipe, and an exceptionally clean and direct smoking experience. Water pipes and hookahs are hand thrown on the pottery wheel from pure white porcelain. They are then hand painted inside and out with 100% food-safe glazes, hand-decorated with platinum and gold lusters, and finished with real 22 karat gold sunshine designs. The sturdy, wide-based beaker-style design, sits safely flat on any surface, allowing for the best percolation, and each water pipe includes in-house made, color tipped martini bowl, and glass slides installed.

Modern pop culture is full of overt references to cannabis use. Counterculture icons Cheech & Chong carved entire careers on their stoner comedy.

Ten seconds. That's all it takes for a customer to lose interest and your cart size to shrink. It is not that your customers don't know how to focus; rather, they have many things competing for their attention. Nick Gary, founder of IGU Global, calls it a growing impatience for uncertainty. According to Nick, customers will stay in the store if it's answering their needs. Every second they spend asking what something is, how much it costs, or how stupid they might feel asking a question is a second closer to a decision to leave.

When I was in college, my sophomore year roommate, who went by Bear, had a two-foot-tall bong with a name. Green Lucy was a gorgeous emerald-colored masterpiece with thick, bulbous glass at the top, comfortable for ripping huge hits.

People would come from all over the house, and sometimes from other parts of campus, just to hang with Bear and get baked from Green Lucy.
