Mastro Geppetto: Rusticato Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

Rendered with a touch of plumpness about the bowl and a languidly bent shank-and-stem, this bent Billiard from Mastro Geppetto is a softer take on the classic shape. From its rounded base, the bowl grows supple walls that taper slightly as they travel toward the rim, creating an almost Brandy-like figure. The shank lifts subtly out of the transition from the bowl and joins to a demurely downturned saddle stem to form a comfortable smoking posture. Mastro Geppetto's Rusticato finish dresses the stummel in a rugged, ruby-tinged rustication, offering plenty of stimulating texture for the hand to appreciate.
