Castello: Collection Zulu with Silver Bamboo Ring (137.150) Tobacco Pipe

A forward-urging, dynamic piece, this Zulu from Castello presents a firm heel and wavy, asymmetric rim, the latter softening the bowl's disposition a bit. An elongated transition along with the gently bent, tapering stem complete the sinuous stretch of form in back, the bold profile at once striking and distinguishable. This Collection piece is dressed in one of the Italian workshop's handsome honey-blonde stains, showcasing fiery licks of flame grain along either flank, while birdseye whorls dot the rim, fore and aft. Further commending this pipe is a gleaming silver bamboo ring for a gleaming dash of flash. This limited edition piece is serialized as number 137 out of 150 pieces; it's quite the collector's item from one of the most respected workshops in the business.
