Smooth Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe

Though by no means a fragile flower, this bent brandy is the one pipe out of this batch of Cavicchis which most immediately brought to mind the term, "delicate". The curvature and proportion are simply that finely balanced, and smooth in transition and translation from one feature to the next. Of course, it also helps that Claudio Cavicchi has used the old trick of tapering the bowl in such a way as to maintain thick walls throughout most its form, while providing such a narrowness of rim as to give the illusion of eggshell-like thinness.
