Ashton: Old Church Bent Dublin with Silver (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

A trumpeting rendition of the bent Dublin shape, this piece from Ashton sees a tall bowl posed at the fore of a fluidly bent shank-and-stem arrangement. An overtly sinuous design, this piece should hang comfortably from the jaw, especially considering the steep curve of the cumberland stem and the entire form's compact length. Lightweight and comfortable in hand, this piece is dressed in the Old Church sandblast, which highlights handsome grain across the bowl's flanks. Additionally, this piece boasts a sterling silver accent that lends a touch of vibrant flash to the composition's profile.
