Nørding: Royal Flush Smooth Zulu (King) Tobacco Pipe

A far cry from the organic, highly stylized shapes for which Nording is known, this Zulu is refined and striking, especially when considering it in profile. The bowl features a subtly flared rim and cants at the fore of a fluidly bent shank-and-stem arrangement. The stretched, almost nonexistent transition offers a place to drape a thumb or digit and creates a negative space that accentuates the disparate trajectories of the bowl and shank. A glossy, auburn-hued smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights striking grain across the flanks of the bowl.
