Askwith: Sandblasted Morta Prince Tobacco Pipe

Chris Askwith often utilizes alternative materials in his creative renditions, taking shape- chart standards and often crafting them from morta, along with his signature polyester mouthpieces. This Prince is one such example, featuring a pert, plump, Apple-like bowl, its rounded disposition and subtle taper paired to an abbreviated shank. Wearing a dark sandblast enables the peat-bog-sourced material to fully display its unique, mesmerizing grain patterns, the medium lending this piece its handy, light weight. A gleaming metal mount, then, offers tasteful contrast for a dress pipe aesthetic, and is topped by a graceful, elegantly tapering mouthpiece for a sophisticated, rather formal color palette.
