   They definitely seem to be pipes.

   Whatever they are, look look kinda cool.
   
   Are they yours? Did you find them at a yard sale or thrift shop or something?
   
   For some reason opium pipe pops into my mind, but it might just be the Asian looking design (especially the dragons - i.e. "chasing the dragon").
   
   But, despite the fact I have done all kinds of opiates/opioids, including straight up (opium) poppy pod tea, I have never actually smoked opium itself, so I don't know for sure.

   They came from an auction.
   
   They are metal and stone, no plastic. Pretty good quality.
   
   Opium seems like a possibility.

   They seem to be fairly newish. Oldest I see these is mid-20th Century, from China.
