Italian Estates: Caminetto Smooth Billiard Tobacco Pipe

This Billiard by Caminetto boasts a tall, full-bodied bowl that stands at the fore of a sleek oval shank and a slender tapered stem. In typical Italian neoclassical style, the bowl holds most of the visual weight within the composition, its wide heel, thick, insulating walls, and muscular frame overshadowing the comparatively lean shank-and-stem arrangement. A low-set transition further emphasizes the visual disparity between the bowl and shank, while offering ample space to drape a digit. Dressed in an auburn smooth finish, the stummel offers a wealth of captivating grain across the bowl and shank alike.
