Peterson: Rosslare Spigot (406) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

While the "408" does display Prince-like elements, the "406" is Peterson's definitive take on the classic Prince shape. Seemingly plucked straight from a vintage English catalog, the profile displays the design's characteristically long, slightly downturned stem, informing its reputation for elegance. The bowl is squat and plump, with perhaps some extra heft to its base, per Peterson's signature shaping style, but the shank and transition are decidedly trimmer, catering more to traditional Anglo-French proportions than the robust, muscular aesthetic seen throughout the Irish marque's portfolio.

Peterson's Rosslare lines are united by a combination of sterling work from the expert silversmiths of the Sallynoggin factory and bright, sun-inspired acrylic stems. In the Rosslare Spigot line, that silver is featured around the shank end and stem base in a spigot-mount arrangement. The spigot construction provides further reinforcement and durability and highlights even more sterling silver than would be used for a standard military mount. In this smooth example, the Rosslare Spigot's bright silver and vibrant stem produces a strikingly modernist aesthetic that's flashy and calls to mind the early years of pipe making when genuine amber was used to fashion mouthpieces.
