Castello 'Castello' Paneled Bent Dublin (KKKK) (2010) Tobacco Pipe

This paneled bent Dublin from Castello combines crisp chamfering with shapely curves for a bold, distinctive silhouette. The bowl is framed by broad, parabolic panels on each flank, imbuing it with a round, palm-filling heel and a rectangular rim up top. The bowl's paneled shaping and thick walls create prominent cheeking along the transition, which introduces a thick, rectangular shank joined by subtly bent, tapered stem. Dressed in a silky smooth finish and a rich auburn stain, this offering showcases plenty of handsome grain, with birdseye dancing along the bowl's rim and fore, and hearty tendrils of flame grain fanning out across the flanks.
