Mastro Geppetto: Sabbiato Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

While this Mastro Geppetto bent Dublin is relatively compact overall, it features robust proportions throughout with extra emphasis placed on the deep-chambered, flaring bowl. It fits in well with the Italian neoclassic approach, which often dramatizes a pipe's dimensions and focuses the majority of a piece's visual weight on the the bowl. But here it's done on a significantly smaller scale, though the shank seamlessly continues the bowl's stoutness before meeting the softly downturned, tangerine-hued mouthpiece. The stummel is finished in a smoky, sandblasted walnut stain, contrasting the bright hues of the stem.
