Danish Estates: Jorn Larsen Smooth Bent Brandy (11.15) (Uptown's) Tobacco Pipe

Well-versed in pipe making and machinery, Jørn Larsen combined his talents to design a copy-frazer machine, one that's still in use by many workshops. This bent Brandy from Jørn Larsen leans into the shape's curvaceous design, featuring a plump, forward-canted bowl with smooth, supple walls at the fore of the composition, its figure contouring well to the hand. Out back, a thick oval shank flares broadly from a tight transition toward a cream-colored accent at the shank face, where it pairs to a demurely bent saddle stem of jet-black vulcanite. A rich, chestnut stain dresses the stummel, revealing sweeping vertical grain around the base.
