Danish Estates: W.O. Larsen Sandblasted Brandy with Horn Tobacco Pipe

A charming, handsome rendition of the classic Brandy shape is presented here from the famous W.Ø. Larsen workshop, showcasing the Danish classic style of their artisans wonderfully. A sleek saddle stem of jet-black vulcanite is married to the shank here via a domed fitment of horn, the stylized stem base providing plenty of visual intrigue at the aft end, especially in concert with the smooth curves of the horn. A wide transition leads the eye to a charmingly tapered bowl that rests atop a firm heel, its slight diminution as it reaches toward the rim lending it a comfortable feel in hand but maintaining a sturdy look. Dressed in a crisp, dark, auburn sandblast, the stummel of this pipe displays some handsome ripples of growth rings throughout its bowl, the hues of the briar contrasting well with the horn accent.
