Danish Estates: Stanwell Sandblasted Dublin (2001) Tobacco Pipe

Sleek and streamlined, this Dublin from Stanwell offers a minimalist profile, with clean, crisp line work and an overall slender frame. The slightly canted bowl flares from its firm, narrow heel to its broad rim, while an oval shank extends from the low-set transition and marries a tapered mouthpiece out back. A crisp, dark sandblast adorns the stummel and draws out rippling waves of growth rings across the surface of the bowl, save for the rim and a trim band around the shank end, which are left smooth and stained a ruby color for contrast. Atop the shank, a metallic plate is engraved with "Stanwell 2001."
