Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Smooth Volcano Tobacco Pipe

Claudio Cavicchi is a master of Italian pipe making, producing between six and seven hundred pipes annually, yet consistently creating works that stand out for both their exceptional shaping and stunning grain. This Volcano is a perfect example, with its graceful curves leading to a rounded heel that fits comfortably in the hand. The bowl's heel directs the eye upward toward the bowl, which rises gracefully, showcasing the dense flame grain that wraps around the briar. The heel also features a captivating swirl of birdseye, serving as an ideal canvas for the grain.
