Stamped Smoking Pipe Bowl and Stem

One white ball clay smoking pipe stem and bowl fragment. The bowl has a cartouche on the right side which possibly reads "I" or "R" / "TIP/PET." The back of the bowl is stamped and partially reads "-R". The pipe was manufactured in Bristol and may be attributed to Joan Tippet (ca. 1680-1700), widow of Robert Tippet and mother of Robert Tippet II, or possibly a product from Robert Tippet himself.
