Danish Estates: Orlik Sandblasted Billiard (06) (11) (02) (by Stanwell) Tobacco Pipe

This Danish-made bent Billiard from Orlik hews closer to Anglo-French sensibilities with its reserved shaping. The bowl stands pert and upright, with its walls traveling from the rounded heel and subtly tapering toward the flat rim. Transitioning from the bowl is a slender shank, accented with a trim metal band as it pairs to a stylized saddle stem. The accent marks the shank end, mimicking the look of a military mount and adding a dose of flash to the pipe in profile. A crisp, inky sandblast dresses the stummel and reveals fine growth rings all throughout.
