Brown Sandblasted Acorn Tobacco Pipe

Some of Claudio Cavicchi's Acorn renditions are of the taller, more slender variety, marked by distinctly pointed heel spurs. Others are more like this pipe, characterized by a more squat, bulbous demeanor and without a pointed heel. Such shaping makes this example all the softer of line and well-suited for in-hand comfort — the flaring form, genteel curves, and muscular disposition all conforming perfectly to wrapped fingers. The shank's slight relative lengthiness makes for excellent compositional harmony, and it's joined by a brief, downturned saddle stem. The briar is replete with rippling growth rings, which are emphasized by one of Cavicchi's signature sandblasts, here stained an earthy brown hue.
