Italian Estates: Savinelli 120th Anniversary Partially Rusticated Bent Bulldog (9mm) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-006-44470
This heptagon-paneled bent Bulldog was released to commemorate Savinelli's 120th anniversary, a milestone which they celebrated with a thoroughly unique composition. Displaying a slight forward cant and ample chamber, the bowl here stands atop a sweeping heel and flares out to a high-set waist, the waist here not marked by a single ridge, but by a series of arcing ridges which line its entire circumference at the top. These ridges act as the tops of seven individual panels that surround the bowl as well, and the added musculature of this shaping does well to balance the shank's diamond outline. Said shank features a curved underside which, while not in line with the traditional Bulldog, is still certainly diamond-shaped, though inverted. A half-saddle stem of black acrylic pairs to this shank, and its large briar accent at the base makes it an intriguing addition to the silhouette. The briar accent across the mouthpiece matches the smooth rim of the bowl, contrasted by the remaining rusticated panels and shank.
