English Estates: Unknown Smooth Dublin Tobacco Pipe

Crafted by an unknown carver, this Dublin is a lean, sleek take on the shape, though one whose visual weight is rooted at the bowl. Said bowl stands on a pronounced, rather firm heel, and grows thick, flaring walls that expand toward a broad, flat rim: holding a capacious chamber within and offering plenty of substance to appreciate in hand. Out back, a wide transition gives way to a slim shank that reaches out to meet a tapering stem of black vulcanite. Dressed in a warm, smooth finish, the auburn-tinged stain of the stummel showcases plenty of handsome grain.
