Caminetto: Smooth Volcano (05) (AT) Tobacco Pipe

Getting their start at Castello, Giuseppe Ascorti and Luigi Radice established Caminetto during the late 1960s, determined to forge their own path in the industry. Today, Caminetto's legacy continues, the brand's unique style being instrumental in the development of recognizable Italian pipe design. This Volcano from Caminetto showcases a distinctly Italian neoclassical approach to the shape, particularly with its pronounced heel. The bowl here is imbued with an almost Brandy-like quality in its figure, with its smooth walls tapering from a more softened base. Out back is a compact, upturned shank paired to a lengthy, gracefully bent saddle stem, the arrangement making for a sinuous, fluid profile. A glossy, inky stain dresses the stummel, granting this piece a sleek complexion.
