Italian Estates: Ser Jacopo Picta Magritte Sandblasted Bent Dublin with Silver (S2) (16) Tobacco Pipe

Ser Jacopo was founded in the 1980s by legendary pipe maker Giancarlo Guidi. The workshop cultivated their signature Pesaro style, which delights in dramatic flourishes and whimsical stylings, even more so than the already playful Italian tradition. Unfortunately, Guidi passed away in 2012, but Ser Jacopo carries on his legacy. One of Guidi's greatest passions, other than pipe making, was procuring fine art. Ser Jacopo's Picta series pays homage to iconic art pieces, and this particular pipe was inspired by the painting The Pipes Enamored Of The Moon (1928) by Belgian surrealist René Magritte.

One of Ser Jacopo's signature shapes, this bent Dublin possesses a broad bowl that flares to a wide rim, which encircles a cavernous chamber. Furthermore, the rim is dressed in a smooth finish, whereas the rest of the stummel features a rugged sandblast, contrasting swirls of birdseye with exposed growth rings. The acrylic saddle stem is separated from the stummel by a silver band, which is detailed with a circle of identical symbols that resemble the tail of a whale.
