Collection Paneled Bent Pot (KK) (2026) Tobacco Pipe

Carlo Scotti brought the Castello brand to life in the late 1940s, crafting his pipes in the same shadow of the Alps as the likes of Savinelli and the Rovera family. Scotti's workshop would eventually yield the independent workshops of Caminetto and Radice, both founded by former Castello artisans, but the Castello tradition continues today with the neoclassic designs that make northern Italy such an influential player in the industry of pipe making.

This bent Pot from Castello is formed by strong line work — four flat panels comprise most of the outer surface of the bowl and a gradually falling arc serves as the underside as the pipe stretches from bit to heel. The grain plays a significant role in its beauty, as well, with tight tendrils of flame grain coating three of the four panels and a smattering of birdseye on the bowl's aft and the top of the shank. It serves as a fine desk pipe, with a mostly flat heel that rounds up to the panels allowing it to balance easily on a flat surface. The finish is very smooth and the stain a rich, dark walnut that shines brightly right until the black acrylic stem takes over for the shank.
