Neerup: P. Jeppesen Handmade High Grade Smooth Bent Apple with Silver (10) Tobacco Pipe

Peder Jeppesen's High Grade series offers high-quality pipes with exceptional grain, finishes, and shaping. This bent Apple is a fine example of the series and showcases Jeppesen's penchant for bowl-centric designs. Tall and muscular, the bowl here holds most of the visual weight within the composition, overshadowing the comparatively trim shank-and-stem arrangement that trails out back. A dramatically lifted heel hoists the bowl upward and imbues it with a sense of forward-driving momentum. The shank twists and curls away from the bowl at an asymmetrical angle, adding a touch of organicism to the design. It's finished in a vibrant, contrast-stained smooth finish that highlights a heel populated with birdseye and windswept flame grain across the flanks of the bowl. A sterling silver accent adorns the shank end and provides a pop of flash to the composition for further visual appeal.
