Liscia Paneled Bent Apple (2) 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 at more accessible prices. A pioneer of the Pesaro school, Guidi and his partners elevated the whimsical aspects of Italian neoclassical design to new heights, creating an immediately recognizable aesthetic that continues to inspire.

One such example is this bent Apple, a handsome piece with plenty of substance to its bowl, reflecting the neoclassical influence for which the workshop is known. Its walls are adorned with octagonal paneling, creating a pleasing contrast between the bowl's plump contours and the more geometric shaping. The briar is dressed in the workshop's Liscia smooth finish and stained a deep mahogany, while the shimmering black and gray acrylic stem adds another touch of visual interest to this hearty piece of Italian craftsmanship.
