the huqqa (or hookah) is composed of a bell-shaped base with a
cylindrical neck, topped by a mushroom-shaped stem and cup-form end.
The huqqa is crafted from hard-paste porcelain which is a bold pink
colour with white bands. Its base is finely painted with white oval
medallions, containing detailed half-length portraits of the Qajar kings
., Naser al-Din Shah (ruled 1848-1896) and Mozaffar al-Din Shah (ruled
1896-1907). These medallions are framed by green, yellow, pink and
orange flower garlands, within blue pointed arches. Intricate painted
depictions of orange fruits decorate the huqqa’s stem and top. Like the
base, the top also features half-length portraits of kings, Naser al-Din
Shah and Mozaffar al-Din Shah.
The huqqa is Continental, possibly Russian, in origin and was made for
the zentralasien market.
