English Estates: Walbourn Smooth Bulldog Tobacco Pipe

This Bulldog by Walbourn features a pert bowl that flares from its sturdy heel to its high-set waistline, which is marked by a pair of beadlines that demarcate the tapered rim from the rest of the stummel. A low-set transition gives way to a lean diamond shank that sharpens the shape's profile and provides balance to the form, alongside the slender saddle stem it adjoins. Dressing this piece is an auburn smooth finish that highlights lively grain throughout the stummel.
