Castello: Collection Occhio di Pernice Pot (KK) Tobacco Pipe

Since their founding in 1947 by Carlo Scotti, Castello's commitment to handcrafting high-quality pipes has helped elevate the reputation of Italian pipes to luxury status. Furthermore, Castello's personal shaping approach to pipes has helped cultivate the bowl-centric and whimsical Italian neoclassic aesthetic. This Pot by Castello is a particularly muscular rendition of the shape. The stout bowl's protruding heel hints at Castello's famous "55" shape, while the thick, insulating walls create a hearty in-hand feel. Out back, the rounded shank fosters physical balance, but its short length keeps compositional focus on the bowl. Additionally, this piece is adorned with Castello's esteemed Occhio di Pernice appellation, which is reserved only for pipes that showcase an exceptional pattern of birdseye.
