Claudio Cavicchi: Black Sandblasted Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 002-400-3650

I'm ceaselessly impressed by the work of Claudio Cavicchi, as every time I look at his work I can't help but see the exacting standards he holds himself to, and the perfectionism with which he approaches each of his pipes. This bent Billiard, too, showcases his uncanny ability to vary shapes, as it's not too often we see a bent Billiard with this demureness of curve. The transition is wide, angling the shank upward just a touch so that it ebbs into the soft arc of the stem with a refined kind of poise. The bowl itself is tall, hearty, and features a low-set, slightly bulging waistline that allows the fingers to index quite easily, as well as a very gentle taper to its undulating rim, something pushed into prominence by way of its bold, rounded heel. The stummel here has been dressed in one of Cavicchi's excellent sandblasts and stained an inky black, Claudio's talent for shaping to the grain showcased in the wonderful ring grain that cascades down the bowl, with the smooth rim providing contrast through its ruby stain.
