Rouletted Smoking Pipe Stem

One unmeasurable white ball clay smoking pipe stem fragment with one band of dashed rouletting and an additional band of thicker square rouletting around the stem. The body has a partial diamond/lozenge visible surrounded by beaded rouletting. The lozenge may contain a fleur de lis but the fragment is broken and the complete motif cannot be determined. The interior of the stem is smoke-stained.
