L'Anatra: Smooth Backgammon Bent Pot Sitter with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 002-023-1548

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.

L'Anatra's Backgammon series draws inspiration from the luck-based game of its namesake. Each pipe within the series is framed by a set of silver accoutrements: the bowl features a rim guard etched with a radial triangular pattern resembling the points of a backgammon board, and the junction is adorned with a stylish accent band. This bent Pot is a good example of the workshop's expressive style, with a rather wide transition that gives way to a continuously tapering shank and stem combination, here poised for comfortable smoking. The underside is flattened beneath the bowl, though the heel is extended out of the fore and rounded before tapering into the bowl's lower walls. These walls are stout and nearly cylindrical, and they offer plenty of space to display the stummel's warm, light stain, complete with streaks of dense flame wrapping around the bowl.
