Nørding: Handmade Sandblasted Bent Pot (12) Tobacco Pipe

Erik Nørding is a prolific Danish pipe maker whose career dates to the 1960s, and his most recognizable works leverage the organic individuality and evocative flourishes of the Fancy Freehand style. The Handmade series, however, also showcases pipes of more reserved, understated, and classic character, with traditional forms well-represented among the line. Additionally and appropriately, this series is composed exclusively of pieces made completely by hand from start to finish, rather than being shaped on a fraising machine and finished by hand, and they're graded in ascending order from 11 to 30. This pipe is a bent Pot dressed in a crisp sandblast, and it's received the 12 grade.
