Picta Magritte Rusticated Bent Dublin with Silver (R1) (02) Tobacco Pipe

It's been some time since we last received an example of the Picta Magritte "02" design, which takes its form from one of the artist's most famous works, "The Philosopher's Lamp ". While the proportions may have been tweaked into something rather more realistic and well-balanced, the design overall retains a considerable loyalty to Magritte's original image. Sizable, comfortable in hand, and sporting a relaxed and poised look that combines engagingly with the bowl's considerable substance, I would indeed say this is a fine briar to accompany one during moments of particularly deep thought.
