Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Smooth Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

A bent Dublin with Acorn-like elements, this hearty pipe from Claudio Cavicchi features a stout bowl with the high waist and softly rounded rim of the more organic design. Housing a generous chamber depth and offering a low-set transition that emphasizes its height, it's set to a gestural, more slender and arcing shank and stem for visual balance. Neoclassical of proportions, this piece is wearing one of the Italian carver's smoldering auburn contrast stains, showcasing beautiful straight grain on all flanks and once again affirming Cavicchi's talents in shaping a briar block in order to best emphasize its grain.
