Nørding: Double Silver Bent Dublin (2) Tobacco Pipe

The Double Silver series from Erik Nording is composed of handmade designs that showcase the Danish artisan's skilled silverwork. Erik's talented use of the precious metal is readily evident on this robust bent Dublin offering, with the large bowl commanding the majority of the visual weight in relation to the comparatively trimmer shank-and-stem combination. The warm, rich contrast stain showcases a wealth of fascinating grain around the burly bowl, with lively tendrils of flame grain rising up the broad flanks toward the asymmetric, plateau-crowned rim. Most impressive is the sterling silver that graces the shank end and stem base on this piece, displaying intricate patterns that require immense talent, skill, and patience.
