About This Pipe
One of the most recognizable marques in Italy today, the Radice workshop was founded in 1980 when Luigi Radice decided to embark on a new pipe-making journey alongside his two sons, Gianluca and Marzio. Previously, Luigi made pipes for Castello, and before that, Caminetto. Under his new namesake brand, he offered high-quality pipes carved in the unmistakable Italian neoclassical style. He experimented with innovative new designs, new rusticating and carving styles, and oil curing. This Pot showcases several of the aforementioned techniques, which are still used by the marque to this day.
Thoroughly neoclassical in its approach, this Pot boasts an especially bowl-centric design. A squat, stocky bowl stands at the fore, with thick, insulating walls and the ability to sit steadily upon its flat heel. Out back, a slender shank-and-stem arrangement further emphasizes the scale of the bowl, the abbreviated stem featuring a gradual taper toward the bit. Radice's Rind rustication envelops the stummel, granting it a dark, rugged complexion.
