Gabriele: Sandblasted Freehand (Snail) Tobacco Pipe

Though the underlying form is that of a simple, robustly-proportioned Danish-style bent Apple, Gabriele manages to add a lot to this shape by the use of a single, sweeping edge, swooping down from the rim, diving past the transition, and looping around to form a prominent spur. It adds a lot of extra definition to the whole, as well as producing a lighter-looking aesthetic, all while keeping neatly out of the way as far as the briar's feel in hand goes.
