Pete Prevost: Sandblasted Bent Egg with Bakelite Tobacco Pipe

While Pete Prevost crafts a variety of different shapes, ranging from compact and chubby to long and lithe, all of his pipes are united by stylish finishes, unique accents, and precise shaping. This bent Egg showcases Prevost's stellar craftsmanship, possessing an understated elegance that's requires a keen eye for detail and a sense of refinement. Like many pieces in Prevost's portfolio, this piece is a relatively compact design, measuring just a touch over five inches long, its subdued footprint belying a subtle curvature that manifests along the shank-and-stem arrangement. Said arrangement supports a tall, tapered bowl that houses a capacious chamber within its softly rounded frame. A crisp, ruddy sandblast dresses the ensemble and highlights a wealth of textured grain across the briar's surface, the finish's warm hues contrasted by the Bakelite stem's gray and white tones.
