Danish Estates: Viby Sandblasted Bent Dublin (026) Tobacco Pipe

Replete with soft curves, this bent Dublin from Viby is a sinuous rendition of the classic shape. The bowl stands pert and upright, its walls curving gently as they flare from the rounded heel toward the subtly inflated rim. A slender shank curls upward from a sweeping transition and meets a gracefully arcing tapered stem with a pinched base, the arrangement offering a comfortable clench. Dressing the stummel is a crisp, earthy sandblast that offers a wealth of stimulating texture beneath a hickory-hued stain.
