Radice: Rind Pure Billiard with Faux Bamboo Tobacco Pipe

As if a Rind Pure was not rare enough, here is a rare Radice Rind Pure with a bamboo-carved shank. The design is well in line with Italian neoclassic style, with a robust bowl that rests on a broad heel, tapering up to a smooth rim. The briar shank is carved to emulate bamboo and is so realistic that it's odd to see it without a separation line between the shank and the "bamboo." With a classic Italian stance, it provides a natural look and feel. The Rind Pure is necessarily free of imperfections, testifying to the high quality briar used to create this stylized rendition. Imagination fails to foresee how nicely this piece will color over the years.
