VINTAGE EXQUISITE HOOKAH

This antique hookah from Rajasthan is a rare collectible that is of great value. Hookah is an instrument used for vaporising and smoking tobacco. The main components of a hookah are a bowl (the head of the hookah used to hold coal and tobacco), windscreen (a screen over the bowl that prevents wind from increasing the burning), hose (a tube that allows smoke to be drawn) and water base (body of the hookah that holds water).

According to one of the theories, hookah originated in India during the Mughal reign. It spread from India to the Near East. There is also another claim that hookah originated in Persia. Irrespective of its origin, the use of hookah has spread across the world. The use of hookah in the old times was not just a custom but also thought of as a matter of prestige.

This antique hookah has a simple design and a smooth finish. The bowl with lid, the base and the purge valve are made of metal while the stem of the hookah is crafted out of wood.
