Randy Wiley: Patina Bent Dublin (77) Tobacco Pipe

Defined by a gently inflated, wavy rim from which two crisp, vertical ridgelines emerge, this bent Dublin from Randy Wiley takes on a more structural aesthetic, said lines forming broad facets. As are most pipes from the Florida carver, this one boasts a capacious chamber and is paired to a gracefully arcing shank and downturned stem. It's wearing a smooth, honey-blonde finish that shows off some lovely wisps of flame grain, with a visually stimulating purple and lavender accent lending a fetching pop of color.
