Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Smooth Bent Apple with Spalted Beechwood Tobacco Pipe

A unique interpretation of the bent Apple shape, this piece from Claudio Cavvichi boasts a plump, rotund bowl that stands at the fore of a triangular shank and a steeply curved saddle stem. The shank's firm, structural lines add a touch of angularity to the otherwise supple and fluid form, while the shank itself boasts a steady outward flare that draws the eye to the stem, and the spalted beechwood accent at the junction. Dressing this piece is Cavicchi's Brown smooth finish, which highlights a wealth of lively flame grain across the bowl's supple walls.
