Ninfea Urano Rustic Black Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

Ardor did stamp this one as "Ninfea". While it does have a cool sterling silver tenon and mount, it lacks the "crown" on the proximal side of the tenon sterling. I have several other pipes that have this exact tenon and mount treatment, and none say Ninfea. (Shrugs, takes out a pint of whiskey hidden in his potted palm, tosses a bumper down the throat and replaces bottle). The bowl is one of the more decidedly organic that I have seen from Ardor in some time. The view from the rim will quickly tell you that asymmetry and subtle warping is in play (and the staggering amount of birdseye on the same will bring a smile to your face).
