Mastro Geppetto: Sabbiato Paneled Bent Billiard 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 bent Billiard from Mastro Geppetto features a Brandy-like bowl, its walls tapering from the broad, rounded base toward the rim, making for a figure with a comfortable presence in hand. The bowl is framed by eight facets, with crisp ridgelines emerging from the base to grant this piece a sturdy, architectural quality. Accented with a bright silver band, a rounded shank transitions from the bowl and joins to a tapered stem of swirling, mocha-hued acrylic, whose gentle downturn lends the composition a languid profile. Courtesy of Mastro Geppetto's Sabbiato finish, the stummel wears a dark, crisp sandblast, pairing with the bowl's paneling to create an stimulating textural experience in hand.
