Most sculpted glass is heavy. That is usually fine and occasionally annoying, especially if you are the person who ends up carrying it between rooms. This one weighs 0.307 kilograms, which is noticeably less than everything else in our character range, and it changes how the piece feels in daily use.
An 8.9 inch glass water pipe shaped as a banana, weighing 0.307 kilograms. One version, made for flower, on the shelf now.
Fruit shapes are a different corner of character glass than animals. There is no face to get wrong, so the whole piece rests on the curve and the color, and a bad curve is obvious to anyone. The form has to look like the fruit at a glance or the joke never lands.
This one does, and the lower weight is part of why. Less glass in the body means the curve stays a curve rather than thickening into a club. We would rather stock a light piece with good lines than a heavy one that looks approximate.
The tradeoff is real and we are not hiding it. Light pieces tip more easily. Give it a flat, firm spot.
0.307 kilograms is the headline. This is the easiest piece here to move around a house, hold one handed, or hand across a room without a two hand grip.
8.9 inches keeps the function intact. The reduced weight did not come from cutting the height, so the smoke still gets its full vertical run.
No face to sculpt badly. Fruit forms live or die on the silhouette, and that makes them age better than a cartoon animal with a painted expression.
Material stated, nothing more. The record says glass. It does not say what grade or how thick, so we do not either.

Written as a paragraph, the record on this item says: glass character water pipe, 8.9 inches tall, 0.307 kilograms in weight, SKU H463, one version with no options to select, intended for flower use, and in stock. Absent from that list are a joint measurement and a chamber capacity, both of which we simply do not hold for this product. We would rather show you a short honest table than a long one with invented rows padding it out.
Find the water level first. Empty bowl, a few test pulls, adjust until it bubbles evenly. This takes two minutes and improves every session afterward.
Respect the light weight. A piece at 0.307 kilograms has less base mass holding it in place, so a hard flat surface is not optional. Coffee table, yes. Couch cushion, never. A cheap rolling tray solves this permanently and costs almost nothing.
Pack modestly and pull gently. An 8.9 inch chamber clears quickly when you are not trying to fill it in one enormous draw, and gentler pulls give you the flavor rather than the burn.
Pro Tip: If you own a piece this light, keep it away from the edge of the table by habit, not by attention. The cheapest insurance in glass ownership is putting things down eight inches from an edge instead of two. Everyone learns this lesson once, expensively.
People who move a piece around. Kitchen to porch to living room, one hand, no ceremony.
Someone who wants character without an animal. Fruit is a different lane, and a less crowded one.
Smaller spaces. 8.9 inches and light enough to sit on a slim shelf.
First time buyers. There is one version, and it comes with a bowl. That is about as simple as this category gets.
0.307 kilograms, the lightest character piece in this group of ours. You feel that immediately when you pick it up. The trade is stability: a light piece needs a genuinely flat surface, because there is less mass in the base holding it down when the table gets bumped.
8.9 inches from bottom to top. That gives the smoke a decent run before it reaches you, which is the practical benefit of any upright water piece. It also means it stores standing up in most cabinets rather than needing to be laid on its side.
Glass is the material on file, and we do not carry any further detail than that. No thickness figure, no glass type, no temperature limit appears in the record for this SKU. Rather than fill those blanks with something that sounds right, we have left them off the page entirely.
This SKU sits inside our free bowl and free accessory promotions, so a bowl ships alongside it. That covers the one part you would otherwise need before your first use. Keep the bowl as a reference for measuring, since we do not publish a joint size for this model.
Weight and toughness are not the same thing, and at 0.307 kilograms this is simply a smaller pour of glass. It is not weaker per square inch. What the lower weight does change is tipping risk, so give it a firm flat home and it will last as long as anything heavier.
It is the most portable piece here at 0.307 kilograms, but it is still 8.9 inches of glass. A padded case and its own compartment make it viable for a car trip to a friend's place. Loose in a backpack with keys and a laptop, it will not survive the week.
There is no published capacity for this 8.9 inch chamber, so set it by feel rather than by measurement. Fill, pull air through with the bowl empty, listen. A clean even bubble is correct. Water reaching your lips means pour some out; a dry rasp means add a little.
Dump the water at the end of every session. This is the whole trick to a piece that tastes right in a month.
Once a week, clean it properly with alcohol and coarse salt. Plug the openings, shake in short bursts, and let it sit for a few minutes if the residue has had time to set. A light piece is easier to shake, so resist the urge to shake it hard.
Rinse fully and stand it upside down overnight on a towel. Any water left inside will eventually announce itself.
Warning: Sudden temperature change breaks glass, and a light body offers less material to absorb that stress. No kettle water, no dishwasher, no leaving it on a sunny dashboard and then rinsing it cold. Move temperatures gradually and this piece will outlast several heavier ones handled carelessly.
