RT Smoking Pipe Stem and Bowl Rim

One white ball clay smoking pipe stem and bowl. The bowl has a plain rim and a somewhat worn cartouche on the right side which possibly reads "R/TIPP/ET." The back of the bowl is stamped with the initials "RT." The interior of the bowl is heavily blackened from smoking damage. The pipe can be attributed to Robert Tippet (ca. 1660-1713) from Bristol.
