Italian Estates: Castello Old Antiquari Bent Dublin with Silver (191.235) (1990) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Since their founding in 1947 by Carlo Scotti, Castello's commitment to handcrafting high-quality pipes has helped elevate the reputation of Italian pipes to luxury status. Furthermore, Castello's personal shaping approach to pipes has helped cultivate the bowl-centric and whimsical Italian neoclassic aesthetic. This bent Dublin by Castello possesses a towering, flared bowl, which is poised atop a sweeping heel and features a rim accented with a band of shimmering silver. Out back, the slender and sinuous shank-and-stem arrangement manifests a willowy profile and promotes a comfortable smoking posture. Moreover, the stummel is dressed in a chestnut-hued sandblast, highlighting wavy growth rings and fiery flame grain in equal measure.
