A charming mix of classical Danish poise and flow, and a rather English sense of reserve in the choice of a dark walnut finish and cumberland stem, it's amusing to think of this simple, relaxed beauty coming from the same artisan who carves pipes in the shape of gnarled, haunting trees and crawling, clawed monstrosities. Smooth and easy in hand, and deep of chamber, this should prove a fine addition to any collection.
