Rinaldo: Sahara Freehand with Silver (1) (YYY) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-031-0726
We've never seen a Freehand from Rinaldo quite like this before, in fact, shapes like this are quite rare in the world of Italian pipe making altogether, as its combination of bowl-centric proportions and forward-facing heel spur are quite distinctive. That being said, this piece is certainly and thoroughly Rinaldo, as the bowl here is a good bit larger than those seen from Federico, leaning slightly rearward and showcasing an arcing taper to a softly undulating rim. The transition is wide, with plenty of room to drape a thumb, and from out of it ebbs a ridgeline-framed ovoid shank that is married to the stem via a band of silver. Said stem is a sleek amber acrylic half-saddle that provides some handsome contrast against the silver band, as well as the warm Sahara sandblast dressing the stummel.
