    I am in search of any information about these small pipes. The metal appears to be silver built around balls of red stone. Jade? The small animals have amazing detail.
    Here is a photo of the bottoms but I do not see any marks.

      They are Chinese Opium Pipes. Here's one similar. Google Chinese Opium Pipe with animals. VERY collectible.

      A lot of things are called opium pipes online. It has become a generic term for any odd old pipe. These don't appear to be made to smoke opium, from what I know.
