Mastro Geppetto: Sabbiato Volcano Tobacco Pipe

Except for its gentle taper from heel to rim and its subtly active stance, this Volcano from Mastro Geppetto could almost be mistaken for a Poker, with its slender, vertically orientated bowl and streamlined shank-and-stem arrangement. In either case, this piece is ideal for those seeking a desk pipe, as the shape's flat heel enables the entirety of the composition to sit without the aid of a stand. It's handsomely presented in the crisp, shadowy Sabiatto sandblast, which coaxes out rippling growth rings across either flank of the bowl.
