Rusticato Billiard Tobacco Pipe

Mastro Geppetto pipes are produced by Ser Jacopo at the Pesaro stalwarts' workshop, offering the bold, expressive style of Giancarlo Guidi's marque but at more accessible prices. A pioneer of the Pesaro school, 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. It features a pert, upright bowl at the front, with straight walls traveling from the rounded heel toward the subtly chamfered rim. An arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement joins to the bowl out back, the saddle stem further accentuating this piece's streamlined profile. Mastro Geppetto's Rusticato finish dresses the stummel in a craggy, ruby-tinged rustication, offering plenty of textural detail for the hand to appreciate.
