Mastro Geppetto: Rusticato Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

Posed with a sinuous posture, this bent Billiard from Mastro Geppetto makes for a comfortable jaw-hanger with plenty of substance about its build. The bowl stands pert and upright, with thick walls traveling from the plump, rounded heel and tapering slightly toward the waist, where they then show a subtle flare to the rim. A hearty shank balances the composition out back, curling upward to meet a sharply bent, tapered stem of jet-black acrylic. Mastro Geppetto's Rusticato finish dresses the stummel in a dark, ruby-tinged rustication, its craggy complexion offering plenty of stimulating texture for the fingers to explore.
