Ashton: Brindle Bent Bulldog (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

With its crisp lines and robust build, this bent Bulldog from Ashton pairs a stolid disposition with a striking presentation. A squat, broad bowl stands upfront, formed by thick walls flaring from the sharply upturned heel toward a high-set waistline, with the form's signature beadlines positioned just above as the walls begin to show a quick taper to the rim. Lifting from the bowl out back is a muscular diamond shank that pairs to an arcing saddle stem, the arrangement offering a comfortable jaw-hanging posture. Fashioned from swirling, orange-and-black acrylic, the stem offers a vibrant contrast to this pipe's palette, with Ashton's dark Brindle sandblast dressing the stummel and revealing waves of rippling growth rings around the bowl.
