Patina Smooth Freehand (99) Tobacco Pipe

While merely this describing chimp's opinion, I feel the term "smoking sculpture" is used way too freely in my industry. Whether done by a machine, or by sanders and files, all pipes have been sculpted.haven't they? I think it's when you find that a given pipe would have a decent interest as objet d'art, in and of itself, that smoking sculpture has some merit. To my mind, this Patina 99 Grade would certainly qualify as an object of interest, from an artistic point of view. Depending on the view, one can see some fascinating, near architectural Deco elements, and from the right front oblique.darned if I don't see some Salvador Dali. The "smoking" part to the two part buzz-word is superbly addressed as well. Randy's pipes always deliver a terrific bowl (given the right tobacco, mais, bien sur).
