Radice: Silk Cut Billiard Tobacco Pipe

Rendered in compact Nosewarmer proportions, this lightweight Billiard from Radice is well-suited for on-the-go smoking. The bowl sits firmly upon its flattened heel with an upright posture, formed by straight sturdy walls reaching toward the rim. An arrow-straight shank and stem join to the bowl out back, the pair's gradual taper lending a touch more visual weight to the front of the composition for a thoroughly neoclassical look. Radice's crisp Silk Cut sandblast dresses the stummel here, revealing fine waves of growth rings across the left flank beneath a rich, ruby-tinged stain, complemented by the stem's warm, vibrant acrylic.
