Mastro Geppetto: Rusticato Billiard with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Mastro Geppetto is produced by Ser Jacopo at the Pesaro stalwarts' workshop, offering the bold, expressive style of Giancarlo Guidi's marque at accessible prices. A pioneer of the Pesaro school, named after the location of his workshop, Guidi and his partners elevated the more whimsical aspects of Italian neoclassic designs to new heights, creating an immediately recognizable aesthetic that continues to inspire. This Billiard from Mastro Geppetto is a straightforward take on the classic shape. The fore features a pert, upright bowl with straight walls traveling from the rounded heel toward the flat rim. An arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement extends from the transition, the pair met at a gleaming silver accent. Mastro Geppetto's Rusticato finish dresses the stummel in a craggy, ruby-tinged rustication, offering plenty of textural detail for the hand to appreciate.
