Mastro Geppetto: Sabbiato Acorn with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Known for pioneering the Pesaro style of pipe making, Giancarlo Guidi founded Ser Jacopo in 1982. Since then, the Italian marque has made a name for itself with its fantastical, imaginative interpretations of classic pipe conventions. Ser Jacopo's sub-brand Mastro Geppetto offers pipes at a more accessible price range without compromising on the marque's distinctive style or standards of quality. This Acorn from Mastro Geppetto harbors a robust figure, its pert bowl formed by thick walls flaring from the rounded heel toward the plump, inflated rim, creating a shape that contours well to the hand. Adorned with a silver accent, a muscular oval shank lifts out of the transition from the bowl and meets a lengthy, demurely bent saddle stem, the arrangement granting this piece a lively profile. The stummel wears a crisp, chocolate-hued sandblast courtesy of Mastro Geppetto's Sabbiato finish, showcasing rippling growth rings around the bowl.
