UC Smoking Pipe Bowl Rim

One almost complete white ball clay smoking pipe bowl and rim with a missing stem. The bowl has a plain rim and a raised but worn circular cartouche on the right side which possibly reads "UC" or "UV." The interior of the bowl is heavily blackened from smoking damage. The pipe was likely manufactured in Bristol during the 18th century.
