Nørding: Orange Grain Freehand Spigot (2) Tobacco Pipe

This Freehand wonderfully showcases Erik Nording's appreciation for the Danish Fancy Freehand style, displaying his conventional use of complex lines, robust proportions, and organic, floral-like shaping style. The asymmetric rim features small patches of plateau along its surface, with the firm ridgelines adding even more visual and physical texture. The bowl's height is further emphasized by the deep, low-set transition, while the thick shank seamlessly continues the bowl's heartiness. The metal spigot mount offers some bright contrast against the warm stain of that characterizes the Orange Grain series, while the stem's stylized shaping adds to the piece's visual interest.
