Radice: Clear Bent Apple (E) Tobacco Pipe

Well on the more compact end of Radice's size spectrum, this bent Apple is a charming, pocket-friendly take on the classic shape. The delightfully plump bowl urges forward from out from the square paneled shank and contains a respectably deep chamber considering this piece's short overall length. It's also a stable sitter thanks to its flattened underside, making this quite the versatile little pipe. However, my favorite aspect about this piece is the sublime finish and striking color palette at play here. The stummel's dressed in the Italian workshop's Clear finish, highlighting a wealth of lively flame grain around the chubby bowl. The warm chestnut stain is then handsomely contrasted by the dark forest green tones of the ever-so-slightly downturned cumberland mouthpiece.
