Collection Lovat (KK) Tobacco Pipe

Aside from the bolder heel, this Collection's shaping hews rather closer to English classical proportions than the fuller-bodied Italian neoclassical style we typically expect from Castello. The bowl does appear to possess a fair bit of extra height (and, as a consequence, depth of chamber as well), but remains pretty trim in terms of breadth. Aside from the aforementioned heel design, the most Italian thing about this design is the spiral carving that winds along the full length of the shank - though even that is done quite a bit more subtly than usual.
