Rinaldo: Triade Bent Dublin (YYY) Tobacco Pipe

This bent Dublin from Rinaldo offers a pronounced curvature that begins at the heel and continues through the sinuous shank-and-stem arrangement. As is typical for the form, the bowl here flares upward to a broad rim, and as it does, it takes on a forward cant that lends the shape an active and dynamic posture. The diamond shank lends a touch of structure to the otherwise gestural form, its firm ridgelines keeping the shape somewhat muscular. Comfortable and relaxed in hand, this piece is stylishly dressed in a warm smooth finish that highlights gorgeous grain throughout the stummel.
