Smooth Tulip with Plateau (Alexandrian) Tobacco Pipe

Naturally inspired, but executed in a solidly architectural manner, this Alexandrian grade smooth tulip delightfully demonstrates Todd's ability with shape that has made him so rightfully famous. The bowl expands with wonderful regularity from the junction of the shank, and features an ever-so-subtle flattening along the vertical axis. Walls of painfully pretty straight grain rise up the 2.8" tall bowl to form a regal crown of plateau on the rim. As nice as this bowl is, it's the shank and it's juxtaposition to that bowl that clearly identifies this pipe as Todd's. Magnificent. --Bear Graves
