I have couple chillums in attic that are excatly like yours!
I have the one made of soapstone with ganja leaf and the pushkar one. I haven't smoke those in 15 years, so they can stay in attic.
I don't wan't to post picture of the one I'm smoking because it's unique and could be connected to me. It's not a too fancy anyways.
...Well, I could post pic of the inside! This is how chillum should look, when you look in (IMNSHO):

is it just me or that mix has a lot of tobacco ?
hey i would just like to say thank you for starting this thread very well done. you have a pretty good collection of chillums but this one above i think you maybe incorrect on. I think it is actually a stone chillum. I have the exact same one and mine is tiger stone. i will post up a pic when i can but, i purchased mine in Jaipur, India. Now i would just like to say that yours might be clay but no joke mine looks exactly the same. Oh and on a side note i had the pleasure of smoking with a sadhu while i was there and he shared his technique with me and i showed hime how to roll up a doobie and smoke that like a chillum, he loved it but did not speak a lick of english. good thing i speak a little hindi,my dad covered the rest. Yes my paps was with me.Next up...!
Limey's "modern" chillum. Perhaps not the best name as it's not mine (a mate left it round my house) and perhaps I should call it "Animal print" or something.
Anyway, it is a clay chillum, again of the 5inch size. It has been glazed, hence the funny pattern on it. Nicely made piece but I am not sure how it will stand up to re-firing, what with the glaze.

Hey nice thread! I love chillums, right up there with a gravity bong or a steamroller to give the thicks hits.
.
I just wanted to make a couple of comments.... I lived in India for a while and smoked out of lots of chillums, so,
lighting material- a type of twine (jute?) if in the city is used, and a piece of coco husk in used in rural areas. Tie it in a knot about the size of the diameter of the top of the chillum, light it on fire, burn and blow on it til it is all red cherry, quickly pick it up and smoosh it into the top of the chillum.... next some more flame and someone quickly puffs about half a dozen times til chillum is lit well, then it is passed around.
To prep fresh ganja: they break it up with their fingers, then add a drop of water then take a blade to it on a table/piece of wood, and slice it many times with blade until it is pulverized. Add unpulverized tabacco and loosely pack it up.
Note- this method works best with the addition of tobacco as an accelerant.
edit: common type of chillum in India costs 1 ($.02) rupee and is disposable clay.
