Italian Estates: Ascorti Business Billiard Tobacco Pipe

A fine bit of Italian craftsmanship, this Billiard from Ascorti boasts a tall, upright bowl that stands at the fore of a slender shank-and-stem arrangement. In typical Italian neoclassical style, the bowl holds most of the visual weight within the composition and offers a respectably deep chamber, ensuring plenty of leisurely smoking sessions. It's handsomely dressed in the craggy and finger-enticing Business rustication, save for the rim, nomenclature panel, and a shank end, which are all left smooth for contrast.
