Ashton: Brindle Cauldron (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

A handsome showcase of Ashton's shaping style, this Cauldron features a tall bowl that tapers from its wide heel to its taut rim. As the bowl tapers, it produces a subtly cinched waistline that indexes the fingers quite naturally. Out back, an arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement provides balance to the form and keeps things looking sleek in profile. A dark sandblast dresses the stummel and highlights striking grain across the briar's surface, the finish's shadowy complexion contrasted by the stem's black and pink hues.
