Liscia Paneled Bent Billiard (0) Tobacco Pipe

Mastro Geppetto, a sub-brand of Ser Jacopo, produces handmade pipes with the same playful, inventive shaping as their parent brand, but at a more approachable price point. This paneled bent Billiard is one of the latest offerings from the Italian workshop, and it showcases their penchant for crafting bold, eye-catching pieces.

The fore of this bent Billiard's bowl is framed by three evenly spaced ridgelines, while the flanks are framed by two, and the bowl's aft side is devoid of any ridgelines, instead taking on a steady, plump curve. The placement of said ridgelines creates a gradient effect of sorts, with the fore of the composition presenting with a structured, geometric appearance, and the aft side growing gradually softer and curvier, culminating in a sinuous shank-and-stem arrangement. The stem is made of milky white acrylic, which stands out against the stummel's smooth, inky finish, creating a vivid contrast that's just as bold as the pipe's shaping.
