Italian Estates: Rinaldo Triade Cherrywood (P5) (YYY) Tobacco Pipe

A rather compact Cherrywood rendition from Rinaldo, at least in terms of overall length, this piece presents with a bowl over two inches tall that sits stably atop its flattened heel. The stretch of shank and stem here are quite sinuous, curving upward nicely before downturning at the bit for a comfortable smoking posture. The bowl additionally showcases a softly inflated rim that eases out its more cylindrical shape, and its dynamic forward cant ensures that this doesn't go unnoticed. Dressing the briar here is a warm walnut stain that unveils tight striations of flame grain wrapping around the briar, while the rim and heel are peppered by pinpricks of birdseye.
