Castello: Collection Bent Apple (K) Tobacco Pipe

Rendered with a Tomato-like rotundity, this bent Apple from Castello hosts a hearty amount of substance within its compact build, making for a stocky interpretation overall. Plump and robust, the bowl's figure fits snugly in the hand, formed by thick, supple walls curving from the firm, rounded heel toward the craggy rim. Out back, a comfortable smoking posture is offered by a muscular, upturned shank and smartly bent stem, the arrangement's continuous taper emphasizing the visual weight at the fore of the composition. Castello's smooth Collection finish dresses the stummel in a rich, chestnut stain that displays wisps of windswept vertical grain across both flanks.
