Rinaldo: Triade Bent Dublin (YYYY) Tobacco Pipe

This bent Dublin from Italian workshop Rinaldo showcases a Saxophone-like look that is rich with sinuousness throughout, its S-curve immediately apparent at first glance. The curvature of this pipe lends it a wonderful stature for jaw-hanging, though there are ample contours which would make for a comfortable cradling experience. A sweeping heel supports the bowl here, its walls flaring out to a broad, gently inflated rim that reinforces the softness that this composition's outline fosters. From out of a wide transition the curling shank tapers upward to meet a smartly curved stem of vibrant yellow acrylic that's been scalloped on the back side to not only add a good deal of texture, but offer some nice angularity to the piece overall. Dressed in a light, natural hue. the stummel here showcases a wealth of flame grain wrapping around the bowl, while the rim specifically is capped with a great deal of birdseye.
