Italian Estates: Castello Trademark Billiard (GG) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Bold, muscular, and strikingly handsome, this Billiard from Castello boasts a broad, thick-walled bowl that fills the hand with substance and girth. The bowl, in typical neoclassical fashion, holds most of the visual weight within the composition, overshadowing the shank-and-stem arrangement that tapers out back. Dressed in the warm auburn hues of the Trademark smooth finish, the stummel displays tight strands of flame grain that flow up the flanks of the bowl to a rim populated with whorls of birdseye.
