This unique pipe is nearly 2 feet long and weighs aprox. 3 lbs. I believe it's hand carved teak wood on brass with jade or marble stones. The opium box is a black laquered wood with etched ivory inlays. Can anyone help me identify them? Thanks!

I know this post is old but what a wonderful piece! I hope you still have it. It’s a real antique and quite unique. Quite valuable today as there has been a resurgence in interest in them and the fact that there were quality materials used in its making. The Opium box is ebony wood with ivory inlays. I’d love to have a piece like this in my collection.
