Essentially three lines of Celius pipes can be described:   
* '''Fantasy''' line: these are those well-known "wild to slightly crazy" shaped fancy freehands. Predominantly stamped ''"Fantasy"'', there are however also pipes Celius stamped ''"Fancy"''. Today it is sheerly impossible to decide whether "Fantasy" and "Fancy" were temporarily made in coexistence, or whether the "Fancy" functioned more or less as a successor of the "Fantasy" in one of Celius' new starts. "Fantasy" and "Fancy" both have a grading by number from 1 - 4 (5 is unconfirmed!).

* '''Zenia''' line: pipes in classical forms. They are named for his daughter Zenia. Obviously Celius delivered this line for a limited time only.

* '''Chess''' line: the most important group of Celius pipes. The grading of these typical Danish freehands is borrowed from the chess pieces:  Pawn (sand-blasted), Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen to King. Pipes, where the natural bark of the briar was left at the rim of the bowl, were called and additionally stamped "Root". Furthermore these pipes had numbers from 1 to 31 (as far as known today). The numbers, we can take that for certain, denominate the shape. But please note that they surely have not the same binding character as the shape numbers of other manufacturers-- they rather stand for a basic form, that was modified often.
