Radice: Rind Bent Billiard with Faux Bamboo Tobacco Pipe

This oval shanked bent Billiard is a fine example of Radice's facility with faux bamboo. The bend on display is slight, making for a silhouette that approaches the Canadian. The hearty bowl tapers down to a thick heel before meeting the extended shank, an imitation of bamboo in briar that reaches backward with an organic curve to an abbreviated tapered stem. The bowl is dressed Radice's Rind rustication, making this pipe a tour de force in eclectic textures.
