English Estates: James Upshall Smooth Bent Billiard with Silver Tobacco Pipe

A hearty design, this bent Billiard from James Upshall features a robust bowl that fills the palm with its thick insulating walls and sheer breadth. The firm, pronounced lines of the upturned paneled shank provide a sense of structure to the composition that contrasts against the rounded features of the bowl. A warm, traditional smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights the fine licks of flame grain around either flank of the bowl. For further visual appeal, a sterling silver accent adorns the shank end and provides a dose of flash.
