Sandblasted Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe

Study the profile of this lovely Brandy shaped bowl and you'll note that, what with the hiked up heel and the point at which the bowl begins to taper to the rim, just a slightly different decision on the shaping wheel could have rendered this piece a rather interesting bent Rhodesian. Yet, because of the shape of the posterior side of the bowl above the shank transition and because of the lack of any clear definition in the middle of the bowl's y-axis (not to mention the absence of any beading) and we've instead a gorgeous bent Brandy. Semantics aside, this is simply an elegantly shaped pipe in the Danish style.
