Clay pipe bowl help needed :)

Post image

Hi from across the ocean :) while kayaking and pebbles and rock observing I found this, I knew it was a clay pipe bowl but I cannot find any visual images of the same design.

"Tide" is very abnormally low this season apparently in this lake. It was deep into sand/mud/clay'ish material with many type of granit and marble and chert fragments.

Any help identifying the provenance or design will be greatly appreciated :)

I am located in Quebec, Canada ;) My bad, I assumed mudlarking was mainly a British term :)

Seems to be an English pipe bowl based on the shape it has. It looks very different from the pipe bowls i find here in the Netherlands... Is there a makers mark on it?
