Danish Estates: Kriswill Count Sandblasted Billiard (481) Tobacco Pipe

Unlike many of Kriswill's pipes, this Billiard doesn't feature the Danish marque's iconic check-mark design, though that could very well be a result of the nearly straight profile, or any kind of pronounced heel. Instead we see a tall bowl, possessed of a pair of panels on either flank and a subtle forward cant, with a bit of curvature to its walls sitting atop a softened, fluid heel. The svelte shank leads to a saddle stem withan extremely demure curve, so much so that it is barely even there. The sandblasted stummel reveals a handsome texture, and the deep chestnut stain dressing it lends the pipe a classic, timeless aesthetic.
