IMP Meerschaum: Smooth Bent Apple with Silver (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

Spherical forms translate quite naturally into the world of meerschaum pipes, where their soft, supple curves are accentuated and elevated by the smooth, porous medium. This bent Apple from IMP Meerschaum is a prime example of such a result, with its full-bodied, bulbous bowl perched on the end of a gracefully arcing shank-and-stem combination. The jet-black acrylic mouthpiece complements the stummel's pale coloration, while a domed sterling silver accent at the shank end adds tasteful flash. In addition, this piece is one of very few from IMP to come complete with a fumed rim, darkening the meerschaum there to match the stem and contrast the pale stummel.
