Claudio Cavicchi: Black Sandblasted Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe

The gentle bend to the stem and shank, paired with the bowl's short demeanor and stout, low-set base give this bent Brandy a distinct Diplomat-esque persona. Cavicchi, however, has kept the shank rather trim on this piece, lending the bowl much of the form's visual weight in true Italian neoclassic fashion. Wearing the crisp and glossy Black sandblast, it's accented with a refined, polished, and ruby stained rim, with a trim ring at the shank-end to match.
