Sandblasted Bent Apple Tobacco Pipe

The combination of a lenticular shank and a deep, pinched transition is one of L'Anatra's most tell-tale shaping cues, and it's put to very good use here, creating a deeply-bent Apple jaw-hanger of an Apple with a flowing silhouette, yet a well-defined contrast in form. that is to say, thanks to that signature bit of shaping, not only does the silhouette avoid any dead-end lines, but the full roundness of the bowl is made all the more appreciable as well.
