Poul Winslow Smooth Pot (D) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

One of Denmark's most prolific artisans, Poul Winsløw got his start in pipe making in the workshop of Preben Holm, a pioneer of the Danish Fancy carving style. Having honed his craft over the last five decades, Poul has cultivated a unique style that allows him to touch on his Danish Fancy roots while also showcasing some of the more reserved elements of Danish Functionalism. This Pot is an excellent example of the artisan's refined style.

A compact, muscular design measuring well under 5.5 inches in total length, this Pot it every bit as stout as it is elegant. An arcing ridgeline frames the lifted heel of the bowl, adding both an element of fluidity and rigidity at the same time. Out back, the arrow-straight, cylindrical shank further bolsters the piece's rigid, architectural appearance, and a stylized stem tops off the composition nicely. Said stem is fashioned from cream-colored acrylic, and decorated with an inlaid band of swirling, coppery hues that handsomely complement the stummel's rich, smooth, auburn finish.
