Mastro Geppetto: Liscia Bent Billiard Churchwarden (2) Tobacco Pipe

This Churchwarden, made by Mastro Geppetto in the Ser Jacopo workshop, is a more classically-oriented piece than one might expect from the home of the Pesaro school, but no less well executed. The bowl is a bent Billiard with a strong heel and sow-bellied curve along the base, allowing it to rest comfortably in the palm. The round shank tapers smoothly toward the long acrylic stem that continues slimming out toward the comfortable bit. Dressed in Geppetto's Liscia finish, the stummel features fine grain in dark brown hues.
