Italian Estates: T. Cristiano Metamorfosi Rusticted Apple with Silver (D510) (9mm) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

This "D510" Apple from T. Cristiano is a fairly compact take on the shape-chart standard, measuring just a touch over five inches in total length. In typical Italian neoclassical style, the tall bowl is paired to a comparatively slender shank-and-stem arrangement, producing a distinctive silhouette that draws the eye forward. A crisp rustication dresses the stummel and provides a wealth of tactile detail for the fingers to admire, save for the rim, shank end, and nomenclature panel, which are all left smooth for contrast. A sterling silver accent adorns the junction and ties the entire composition together with a dose of flash.
