Gabriele: Sandblasted Pot with Masur Birch (Turtle) Tobacco Pipe

We've seen a Dublin-like Pot shape from Gabriele dal Fiume rather similar to this before, with its streamlined shaping and slightly more muscular sense of presence calling to mind certain Danish school classics. There's plenty of briar to the chamber walls, and a neat beadline of sorts serves to reinforce its modernist disposition, and likewise call attention the softly inflated rim. Finished in a warm, somewhat low-profile sandblast, it makes fine use of a warm contrast finish, paired to a lovely mount of masur birch and an arrow-straight saddle bit.
