Ardor: Urano Dragon Eye Bent Apple Tobacco Pipe

Possessed of a gestural stance, this bent Apple from Ardor pairs the bowl-centric sensibilities of Italian neoclassicism with a touch of Danish fluidity, creating a strong sense of momentum throughout the design. Up front is a tall, plump bowl, its broad waist showing greater emphasis toward the flanks for a particularly rotund, full-bodied presence in the hand. From the transition, a sturdy shank curls upward to meet a slender, arcing stem of yellow, speckled acrylic, complete with a highly textural wooden accent at the base for a rugged touch. Contrasting the stem's vibrant palette, an inky sandblast envelops the stummel in a wealth of stimulating texture, with pronounced, undulating growth rings wrapping across the bowl from heel to rim.
