5.5″ ELEMENT SILVER FUME SHERLOCK PIPE W/ MARBLE CAB – MADE IN USA

The 5.5″ Element Silver Fume Sherlock Pipe with Marble Cab is a made-in-USA glass hand pipe built for people who want a classy, comfortable daily driver that still has some personality. The silver fume work gives it that color-changing magic as it gets loved on, and the 5.5 inch (140mm) Sherlock curve keeps heat away from your face while adding that old-school detective vibe.

This is the kind of piece you toss on the table and everyone automatically reaches for first.

Why You’ll Actually Use This Every Day

• Color that evolves with you — Silver fume glass slowly shifts tones as you sesh, so your pipe picks up its own unique look over time instead of staying plain and boring.
• Comfortable, cool pulls — The 5.5 inch (140mm) Sherlock profile gives the smoke more travel room, helping it cool off a bit before it reaches you.
• Stays put on the table — The marble cab doubles as a roll-stop, so you’re not watching your pipe slowly roll toward the edge every time someone bumps the coffee table.
• Made in the USA quality — Crafted by Element Glass, you’re getting proper American borosilicate work from artists who know how a real daily pipe needs to function.
• Easy to pass, easy to hold — The Sherlock bend and length make it easy to grip and pass around without putting fingers near the hot bowl.
• Looks good in any collection — The clean silver fume and marble accent give it a heady vibe without being over-the-top or fragile art glass territory.

Best For

This pipe is made for people who want something nicer than a gas station spoon, but still rugged enough to be a true daily driver. It’s a sweet spot piece for:

• Dabbers and smokers who want a go-to dry option next to their silicone bongs & rigs
• Anyone who likes color-changing fume work that “seasons” with use
• People who want a Sherlock shape that actually fits a pocket or bag
• Gift shoppers looking for a made-in-USA piece that feels special out of the box

How to Use It

If you’ve used a hand pipe before, you’re already dialed in—this one just feels better in hand. The Sherlock curve keeps the bowl a little farther from your face and angles the mouthpiece so you can chill back without hunching over your lap piece.

Set it down between hits with the marble cab facing down; that little bump acts like a built-in stand so the pipe doesn’t tip or roll. Pair it with a nonstick dab mat or tray if you want to keep ash, crumbs, and glass all in one clean zone on your table.

Cleaning is simple: let the piece cool completely, then wipe off surface residue. For deeper refreshes, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse well with warm water, and let it dry fully before your next sesh.

Specs

What Makes the Silver Fume Special?

Silver fume isn’t just paint or a decal—it’s actual vaporized silver worked into the glass as it’s being made. That’s why the color doesn’t “chip off” and why the pipe slowly changes tones with use.

As the inside builds a bit of resin, the way light passes through the glass shifts, and you’ll see deeper blues, golds, and greens peek out. If you like watching your piece evolve, this kind of fume work is where the magic’s at.

Care Tips

To keep the fume work looking sharp, give it a periodic soak instead of letting buildup cake on forever. After cleaning, you’ll really see how much the color has evolved compared to when it was brand new.

If you’re tossing this pipe in a bag or backpack, it’s worth pairing it with a soft case or pouch from our general smoke shop products lineup so you’re not explaining a cracked Sherlock later.

FAQ

• Does the silver fume actually change color?
  Yes. As you use the pipe and a bit of resin builds up inside, the silver fume reacts with the light differently, so you’ll see blues, purples, greens, and warmer tones come out over time. A good cleaning will reset the contrast so you can really see how it’s evolved.
• How long is 5.5 inches in real-life use?
  At 5.5 inches (140mm), this Sherlock is long enough to keep heat away from your face and hands, but still compact enough to pocket or stash. It’s a nice middle ground between a tiny travel spoon and a long, fragile showpiece.
• Is this pipe heavy or fragile?
  It’s glass, so you still want to treat it with respect, but Element Glass builds their pieces to be used, not just stared at. It has enough heft to feel solid without being a brick. For travel or storage, keeping it in a padded pouch or with your other storage & packaging essentials is a smart move.
• What does the marble cab actually do?
  Besides looking clean, the marble acts as a built-in roll-stop. Set the Sherlock down with the marble at the low point and it helps keep the pipe from rolling off your tray or table. It also gives you a little extra grip spot when you’re passing it around.
• How do I clean it without damaging the fume?
  Let the pipe cool, then wipe off any loose ash or surface residue. For deeper cleaning, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and allow it to dry before using again. The fume work is inside the glass, so normal cleaning won’t hurt it.
• Can I use this as my only piece?
  Definitely. A lot of people run a solid Sherlock like this as their main daily pipe, and then keep their rigs or nectar collectors for concentrates on the side. It’s small enough for solo use but nice enough to bring out when friends are over.
• Is this really made in the USA?
  Yes—this Sherlock is made by Element Glass here in the States. If you like supporting domestic glassblowers, you can build a whole setup around American-made pieces, from pipes to concentrate jars and more.

If you’re hunting for a hand pipe that feels a little grown-up but still fun, this 5.5″ Element Silver Fume Sherlock with Marble Cab is that perfect sweet spot—clean function, evolving color, and made-in-USA quality that earns its place in your lineup.
