In England clay pipes were sold in bundles of dozens or twenties, and were often free in taverns, where the tobacco was sold.

The heel is tear-shaped, and the maker has made a rouletted line across it as a distinguishing mark. It was probably made in London from white ball clay mined from Poole, Dorset, on the southern coast of England—the preferred clay for tobacco pipes up until the 19th century. Such clay fired up white and hard and is called white ball clay after the practice of forming the mined clay into large balls that could be easily rolled onto wagons for shipment. English pipe clay was also exported to the Netherlands for the Dutch pipemaking industry, reportedly established after 1608 by political refugees from England. Some of these early pipemakers may indeed have been—like many of the first colonists to Jamestown—English veterans of the Dutch war of independence from Spain.

In that case, one possibility is that this pipe could be the product of a London area pipemaker named William Manby. Pipes like these may have arrived at Mount Vernon through bulk purchases by George Washington, who placed at least two orders through his London merchant, Robert Cary, for pipes in 1762 and 1773. Noticeably, Cary acquired pipes to fill the 1762 order from an Edward Manby, of uncertain relationship to the previously pipemaker.
