Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Smooth Pot Tobacco Pipe

This Pot from Claudio Cavicchi showcases the famed artisans elegant shaping style and refined finishing work. In typical Italian noeclassical fashion, the bowl here holds most of the visual weight within the composition, its muscular build, thick, insulating walls, and wide, full-bodied heel overshadowing the comparatively lean shank-and-stem arrangement. That being said, while this piece isn't exactly visually balanced, it maintains a comfortable in-hand prescence that is simply delightful. Dressed in Cavicchi's brown smooth finish, this piece offers a wealth of attractive grain across the bowl and shank alike.
