Scottie Piersel: Relief Contrast Pencil Shank Prince with Ivorite Tobacco Pipe

Scottie Piersel's pipes are a testament to her diverse backgrounds in engineering, sculpting, and architecture. Each piece is meticulously crafted, emphasizing both functionality and durability, as seen in her distinct, reinforced pencil shank designs, such as this Prince. The Prince is a timeless shape that is typically defined by a squat, rounded bowl, slender shank, and elongated, slightly bent stem; and this particular rendition by Scottie Piersel features all these attributes. Characteristic of Piersel's refined engineering, the shank is reinforced with a stainless steel lining, ensuring extra durability despite its slender proportions. The hand-cut stem of vibrantly brindled vulcanite boasts a color palette of powder blue, orange, pink, and sage green, these colors complemented by a pale white accent at the junction. The stummel wears Piersel's Relief sandblast, which draw out well-defined growth rings around the bowl.
