Radice: Rind Canadian Tobacco Pipe

The Canadian shape lends itself well to the bowl-centric design sense that marks a great deal of pipes in the Italian neoclassical tradition, with the low-slung, oval shank-and-stem combination naturally anchoring most of the visual weight at the bowl. That's evident in this rendition from Radice, as the tall, broad bowl is bolstered by the sleek, flattened lines of shank and stem. This piece wears the craggy Rind rustication, which offers a wealth of stimulating texture for the fingers to admire.
