MINI-SNIPPET --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm is a hand-lampworked borosilicate bowl piece sculpted as a mossy hollow log, sold by Empire as the Bug's Life Bowl Piece, part number 1770. Textured reddish-brown bark is covered in raised green moss, with a pair of orange white-spotted mushrooms, a pair of yellow dark-spotted mushrooms, a row of white shelf fungi and a red-and-black ladybug on the back. The open hollow of the log is the bowl, and a frosted 14mm male joint fits any water pipe or bong with a 14mm female joint. It measures about 2.25\" × 1.75\" × 1.75\" and weighs about 35 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 1.

QUICK SUMMARY --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmpire Glassworks is a lampwork studio known for sculpted, story-driven glass, and Bug's Life is one of its recurring woodland themes. The Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm is that theme as a bowl piece: a short upright log in textured brown glass, dressed in green moss, mushrooms, shelf fungi and a ladybug, sitting on a frosted 14mm male joint. Pack the hollow of the log and use it in any 14mm female water pipe. It is $39.99 at Angies Boutique, 838 N Broadway, Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 4.

The Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm does the same job and turns the top of your water pipe into a tiny patch of woodland. Empire built its Bug's Life designs around one scene — a mossy log, the mushrooms growing out of it, and the ladybug living on it — and this bowl shrinks that scene to fit a 14mm joint. The bark carries a raised, uneven texture, the moss is laid on in small green clusters, and the mushrooms stand proud of the surface on their own white stems. The hollow of the log is where you pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bug's Life Slide is also the bowl-piece member of a matched set with Empire's Bug's Life Small Spoon Pipe and Bug's Life Dabber.

Raised green moss covers the bark. The open top of the log is the bowl, and the whole piece sits on a frosted 14mm male joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size joint does the Bug's Life Slide fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm has a 14mm male joint, so it fits a bong or water pipe with a 14mm female joint. Empire states that the Bug's Life Bowl Piece does not fit 10mm or 18mm joints, and no adapter is included in the box. If you are unsure of your water pipe's joint size, bring it to Angies Boutique at 838 N Broadway and staff will check it in person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm hard to clean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes more care than a plain bowl. One Empire buyer reports that the hole from the bowl down into the joint is narrower than a cotton swab, so the Bug's Life Slide is cleaned by soaking rather than swabbing. Soak it in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt, agitate, then run a thin pipe cleaner through the draw hole. Give the textured moss a longer soak instead of scrubbing, rinse with warm water, and let it dry fully before the next use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a matching Bug's Life pipe or dabber?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Empire builds Bug's Life as a set, and Angies Boutique stocks the Bug's Life Small Spoon Pipe and the Bug's Life Dabber alongside the Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm. The spoon pipe is a dry hand pipe for flower and the dabber is a concentrate tool, both carrying the same mossy log and mushroom work. Together the three cover a water pipe, a hand pipe and a dab tool in one theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill my Bug's Life Slide look exactly like the photos?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be close, not identical. Empire lampworks every Bug's Life Bowl Piece by hand and says color placement and sculpted details vary from piece to piece. The log, moss, four mushrooms, shelf fungi and ladybug are on every Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm, but the exact position of each mushroom, the spread of the moss and the shade of the bark shift slightly between pieces. That variation is the mark of hand-made glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I get a whole pipe with the Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm is the bowl piece only — one sculpted glass bowl with a 14mm male joint, and nothing else in the box. You need a bong or water pipe with a 14mm female joint to use it. If you want a complete Bug's Life piece that works on its own, the Bug's Life Small Spoon Pipe is a dry hand pipe from the same Empire theme, stocked at Angies Boutique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Empire Glassworks Bug's Life Slide 14mm is Empire part 1770 — a 14mm male mossy-log bowl piece that cleans with a soak and matches Empire's Bug's Life pipe and dabber.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 13.
