Radice: Rind Billiard (G) Tobacco Pipe

Displaying the dramatized proportions inherent in Italian neoclassic shaping, this "G" large Billiard from the Radices features a tall, robust bowl atop a rounded, flattened heel that allows it to sit sturdily upright. Out back, though, a more svelte and continually tapering shank and stem ebb from a mid-set transition, providing support. It's dressed in the dark, craggy and ruby-tinged version of the workshop's Rind finish, with a lightly stained, smooth rim lending contrast.
