Yeti: Sandblasted Art Deco Acorn with Bakelite (1050) Tobacco Pipe

Micah "Yeti" Cryder is known for his highly stylized designs, blending whimsy and sculpture into distinctive, individualistic shapes. This striking Art Deco Acorn exemplifies that approach—a bold reinterpretation of the classic form. It showcases architectural rigidity, particularly at the sharply pointed heel and along the paneled, flaring shank. The geometric features echo the visual language of the Art Deco era, reminiscent of the sturdy, ornate skyscrapers influenced by aesthetic. The bowl flares steadily upward, its expanding walls culminating in a wide, rounded rim that offers an ergonomic grip. A deep sandblast finish enhances the dramatic contours, while a vibrant Bakelite stem provides a pop of vibrant color, perfectly complementing the design's retro-futuristic appeal. The result is a piece that masterfully balances artistic expression with functional elegance.
