Mark Tinsky: Coral Liverpool (6) (Glenn Tinsky) Tobacco Pipe

Sleek, lightweight, and eye-catching, this Liverpool from Glenn Tinsky pairs a pert, upright bowl to a protracted round shank and an abbreviated tapered stem. The slender, arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement leads the eye to the stout, muscular bowl at the fore of the composition and keeps the overall form streamlined and minimalist in profile. The earthy Coral rustication dresses the stummel and provides plenty of tactile feedback for the fingers to enjoy, save for the innermost rim and a trim band around the shank end, which are left smooth and stained a lighter hue for contrast.
