GH.ZHANG: Red Sandblasted Blowfish (Ping Zhan) (10) Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 002-937-0294

Guo Hui Zhang's passion for pipes began with his work as an importer and purveyor of pipe-making materials. Zhang's understanding of large-scale pipe logistics inspired an exciting idea: the mass production of high-quality, artisan pipes. In 2017, he opened the GH Zhang workshop and partnered with pipe makers around the world to achieve his vision. Each GH Zhang pipe is designed by a famous artisan pipe maker and shaped on a CNC machine before being finished by hand and fitted with stems by the team at GH Zhang. Offering more than 40 shapes in smooth and sandblasted finishes, each of which is serialized, GH Zhang presents pipe smokers with a rare opportunity to procure artisan-style pipes at an accessible price.

Hailing from Dalian, China, Ping Zhan is among the most well known and highly regarded pipe makers working today. Zhan began carving pipes in 2011 and draws much of his inspiration from the Danish and Japanese schools of pipe design, displaying a keen eye for sleek lines and inventive shaping. Zhan's Blowfish designs are among his most popular and recognizable, and this "10" Blowfish is a fine representation of his impressive facility with the shape. This piece displays the characteristic aspects of the Blowfish admirably, featuring a bowl defined by supple flanks, bifurcated by an offset central ridge defined by crisp ridges that wrap around the bowl to join in fin-like protrusions that jut out at the transition. The distinctive shank is rendered in a diamond-like cross section, which is flattened on the underside to accentuate the high-kicking ridge that shoots high above the junction to a deftly bent saddle stem of black vulcanite. Dressed in a crisp red sandblast, the stummel boasts a wealth of engaging texture.
