Italian Estates: Ser Jacopo Gem Series Fiammata (Granato) Bent Dublin with 18K Gold (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Ser Jacopo's Gem series is reserved for some of the finest briars the Pesaro workshop has to offer. Not only are these pipes immaculately shaped, but they also possess incredible grain. The line is distinguished by its grading system, which uses gemstones to denote the quality of each pipe, ascending in order from Smeraldo ("Emerald"), Granato ("Garnet"), Zaffiro ("Sapphire"), and Rubino ("Ruby"), to Brillante ("Diamond"). This Granato-graded bent Dublin boasts a tall bowl that flares from its lifted heel to its broad, plateau-crowned rim. Said bowl is positioned at the fore of an upturned shank and a curved saddle stem, the latter of which promotes a comfortable smoking posture. In typical Italian neoclassical fashion, the bowl holds most of the visual weight within the composition, its muscular frame and slight forward cant overshadowing the comparatively trim shank-and-stem arrangement. A warm, reddish smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights gorgeous flame grain across the bowl's flanks, while an accent of 18K gold adorns the junction and ties the shape together with a dose of flash.
