L'Anatra: Pettinate Bent Apple with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Since its establishment in 1998, L'Anatra has become a mainstay of Italian pipe making and an influential part of the Pesaro tradition. Evocative finishes, playful shaping, and exquisite silverwork typify L'Anatra's craftsmanship and reflect the marque's bold, whimsical spirit. There is perhaps no better encapsulation of L'Anatra's unique character than their telltale signature: a tiny silver duck head, found on every pipe stem. This bent Apple by L'Anatra boasts a plump, full-bodied bowl that stands at the fore of an upturned shank and a smartly curved stem. Poised for comfortable jaw-hanging, this pipe is also rather compact, coming in at less than four and a half inches long and finding itself squarely in Nosewarmer territory. L'Anatra's Pettinate rustication dresses the stummel and lends a wealth of captivating texture to the briar, the inky tones across the burl nicely contrasted by a band of silver at the junction.
