The claim
The traditional company “Gmundner Keramik” offers a bong in various designs.
Our conclusion
That is correct. The original idea for this comes from an article on the satirical site “Die Tagespresse”.
Originally intended as a joke by the satirical report “Tagespresse”, the idea of a ceramic bong has surprisingly taken on real form and is now causing a sensation.
“Gmundner Bong”: An idea takes shape
It was an unexpected turn in the world of ceramics. the daily press launched the idea of a ceramic bong.
But the Gmundner Ceramics Manufactory saw it as more than just a joke. Within a very short time, fiction turned into actually functional water pipe models that combined traditional ceramic art with modern utility.
The birth of the Gmundner ceramic water pipes
The first ceramic pipes were dummies and unique pieces, designed by the artist Chuma Maweni for the “ Changing Frame ” exhibition at the Academy of Ceramics Gmunden. They immediately caught the attention of the internet.
But that was just the beginning. Gmundner Keramik recognized the potential and presented three models shortly before Christmas: “Scattered Flowers”, “Rainbow” and “Green Flamed”. Each piece is handmade and costs 120 euros - a price that reflects the exclusivity and quality craftsmanship.
It could possibly be tight for Christmas, the delivery time in the online shop is currently up to 16 working days.
Conclusion
The Gmundner ceramic bong is an excellent example of how a humorous idea can become a serious innovation. This example impressively shows how creativity and craftsmanship can give everyday objects and smoking items a new dimension.
