As another comment points out, there is a mistake with the second sentence.

The word combination works but it does not contradict the first negation.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe = This is not a pipe

C'est une pipe = It's a pipe

What you want is to simply remove the negative "n' + pas".

Ceci est une pipe = This is a pipe

With other examples...

Ceci est un garçon = This is a boy

Ceci n'est pas un garçon = This is not a boy

C'est une fille = It's a girl

Ceci est une fille = This is a girl

Ceci n'est pas une fille = This is not a girl

Ceci est un commentaire = This is a comment

Ceci n'est pas un commentaire = This is not a comment

C'est simple n'est-ce pas? = It's simple is it not?
