Heard you could buy Roman glass bottles for like under $50, while browsing I found . . . this.
Should've shown this to my pottery teacher when he accused me of making a bong

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Did you make a Bong? (If yes, did it worked well? Must be hard to clean)
No, I made a First Century Roman Glass Bottle with Spout.
My high school teacher said she would just close them up before firing putting them in the kiln. I'm sure some art teachers would know what to look for to see if it's a bong.
I gotta bong that looks exactly like this.
Bongus Maximus
Perfection
Augusta Chronicus
Bro, the Romans had it all.
Wine, Orgys, Twinks, Olive Oil and apparently also Weed and Bongs!
Time for some Scythian rituals
In 440 B.C., Herodotus, an ancient Greek writer popularly dubbed the “father of history,” included an account of ritualistic cannabis use in Book IV of his acclaimed Histories. Recounting the funeral ceremonies of a nomadic Eurasian civilization, the historian reports, “The Scythians, as I said, take some of this hemp-seed, and … throw it upon the red hot stones.” When the hemp began to smoke and release a vapor, the “Scyths, delighted, shout[ed] for joy.”
But seriously, was this used as a bong?
