Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Smooth Dublin with Olivewood Tobacco Pipe

This Dublin from Claudio Cavicchi is a thoroughly Italian take on the classic shape, offering the robust proportions and bowl-centric silhouette typically associated with the neoclassical school of pipe making. The bowl here flares from its lifted heel to its broad rim, and as it does, it takes on a subtle forward cant that imbues the entire composition with a dynamic character. An oval shank and sleek saddle stem bring up the rear of the composition and keep the design's aft side reserved, pushing the visual focus to the bowl and its muscular build. The Brown smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights fine strands of flame grain across the bowl's flanks, while an olivewood accent adorns the shank end and adds a touch of complementary color to the briar's warm complexion.
