Ashton: Pebble Grain Billiard with Silver (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

Headed by Jimmy Craig, English workshop Ashton primarily crafts pipes of a timeless, classical style, often elevated by stems of signature brindled vulcanite and fitments of elegant silver. A Billiard instantly reminiscent of the Anglo-French shape chart standard, this piece boasts a sleek shank-and-stem combination that does well to balance the visual weight of the bowl. Said combination comprises a trim, round stretch of briar that's capped by a domed fitment of silver in a sturdy, military mount configuration pairing it to a sleekly tapering stem of black vulcanite. Up front, the bowl stands atop a rounded heel and boasts a slight taper up toward the rim, its walls offering plenty of space to showcase the crisp, inky sandblast of the Pebble Grain series while the silver mount offers a wealth of lovely contrast.
