Nørding: Spiral Freehand Tobacco Pipe

Fitting in well with Erik Nording's Danish Fancy shaping style, this Freehand pipe from his Spiral series showcases a broad, dramatically flaring bowl balanced at the end of a stylized shank with a spurred face. The transition is pinched a bit, and that is owed to this pipe's most distinctive feature: a series of carved channels which frame the bowl and outline the bottom of the transition, adding textural intrigue and lending this line its namesake. These channels are left naturally stained, standing out strikingly against the glossy, jet-black coloration of the rest of the stummel, making this piece an eye-catching bit of Danish craftsmanship.
