Italian Estates: Ser Jacopo Smooth Bent Dublin with Silver (Maxima Maxima) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Bearing two "Maxima" stamps, this bent Dublin from Ser Jacopo is a hearty bit of Italian craftsmanship, displaying a tall, palm-filling bowl that's set to a languid S-curve of shank and stem. The bowl houses a capacious chamber within its stocky insulating walls, which rise in a subtle flare from a rusticated heel to a broad rim. In typical Italian neoclassical style, the bowl holds most of the visual weight within the composition, overshadowing the comparatively slender shank-and-stem arrangement out back. An auburn smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights a handsome showing of flame grain around the bowl, while a sterling silver accent adorns the junction and ties the entire form together with a dose of flash. Unsmoked.
