Mini - Bongs

Mini bongs have seen a rapid increase in popularity, in part because of the practical sizing and also because the mini bong lends itself to some spectacular designs.  American glassblowers have hand-made exquisite pipes for all tastes that are available from us here Brothers With Glass. 

 Brothers With Glass supports the work of incredibly skilled artists who have created some intricate designs that are practical, beautiful, some are gregarious and will certainly be a conversation piece in any home. Not only are mini-bongs a work of art these can also be used for smoking and are fully functioning. The size and structure of our mini-bongs make these mini works of art portable for customers regularly on the go or frequent travelers.

 Mini water pipes at Brothers With Glass are available from artists and brand names that you can trust.  The centuries-old craft of glassblowing is a specialist skill and some of our artisans have developed their expertise so that they can provide amazing products that have been precision made.  The artisans we work with know no bounds in their artistry visions yet making mini-bongs that provide complete satisfaction when used for smoking. 

 Our glass blowers include experts in ceramics who have created some interesting mini-bongs that are equally as fascinating and practical.  Have a look at what our artists have to offer.  We only select artists who create outstanding products.  Quality and uniqueness are characteristics we look for in artists and brands.

 Handmade bongs are not a new phenomenon.  The oldest bong was excavated in Russia and believed to be 2,400 years old.  The Ming Dynasty is known to have introduced smoking through a pipe in the 16^th century.  Recent legislative changes around the world have made the use of bongs more popular with the US leading the way in creativity and individualism. Our dream team of artists have hand made some wonderful water pipes which means that most are limited editions merely by default.  Maybe one day some of these mini-bongs will be collectible artifacts.  These works of art, as already mentioned, can be used for smoking or make great ornamental gifts.

 Take a look at the selection of glass pipes in the mini size at Brothers With Glass.  There are some quirky and traditional style mini-bongs.  Glass makers specializing in these miniature water pipes include Empire Glassworks, Chameleon, EA Glass, Goo Roo Designs, Mary Jane's Glass, and HVY Glass.  We are continually adding to our collection so do come back to our site and if you do not find what you’re looking for please contact us and let us help you. 

 Great attention has been given to the details of smaller bong designs made by artists employing heritage craft skills that were almost lost through mass production methods and the industrial revolution.  Now, as a nation, we have a great appetite for and appreciate the skills of artists and what is better than owning something that has been hand crafted and designed by a skilled individual rather than a computer designed product.  Understandably owning a handmade bong means that each piece has its own individual characteristics.  No two pieces from any range will be identical. 

 Some of these mini-bongs are made with the centuries’ old glass-blowing craft and we have some spectacular designs in our collection.  Empire Glassworks’ Pineapple Paradise Bong is quirky and fun depicting a cocktail that is colorful and brash as are their Key Lime Sundae Bong and Nano Panda Family Water Pipe.  The level of skill required to produce such ostentatious handmade glassware and accomplishing colors and patterns to form so perfectly cannot be understated.   Typically Empire Glassworks’ designs are adventurous, flamboyant, incredibly detailed and some that are on the edge of the surrealism spectrum. 

 Goo Roo Designs’ mini-bongs are minimalistic and stylish.  Some of their standard-sized bongs are surreal and we hope that these may be extended to their mini-bong range.  Even so minimalistic never fails as a concept. Brothers With Glass has worked with Chameleon Glass for a number of years and who like to stay true to their name.  Whilst Chameleon has only a small collection of small water works these are available in a range of colors.  What Chameleon creates, so well, is blending colors that give two-tone and shimmering effects.

 We ship daily so check out our cut off time for placing your order, most are delivered for free and we pride ourselves in our commitment to the environment by using plain recyclable packaging.

 Our partners like EA Glass take a different approach to their unique glassware is generosity with their materials, a lot of effort is put into producing items with multiple sections that are heavily worked and raked and worth every cent. Mad Hatters Glass takes a different spin on their fumed spiral neck bong.  Pardon the pun, I couldn’t resist it.  Seriously though, these superb bongs are available in a number of colors, remarkably some have a retro look about them, from the 60s / 70s, in particular, the white and orange versions.  Yet the blue and the blue with red spiral neck bongs have a modern, almost futurist look about them.  These are fun, functional, practical, and robust enough to be transported about due to being made with 5mm thick glass. 

We take quality control seriously and expect the same high standard from all of our artists who perform strict quality control checks on their products ensuring defective products do not get passed onto Brothers With Glass.  The glass-blowing community is still a relatively small sector and the increase in demand has meant that you, the customer, can enjoy a wide selection of smoking products that are durable, eye-catching and talking pieces.
