Ser Jacopo: Smooth Paneled Bent Dublin with Silver (L1) (A) Tobacco Pipe

The whimsy of the Pesaro school of pipe making is on fine display with this playful Dublin from Ser Jacopo. The bowl is an eight-sided panel form rising tall from the forward-pointed heel and in stylistic parallel to the squared shank. That shank is winsomely bent in similar fashion to the Prince and Hawkbill shapes, but here takes on a slightly more traditional feel despite the creative shaping cues of the piece. Wit fine grain, a softly inflated rim, and a bright sterling accent, it's a pipe that seems destined from mythological figure from fantastical lore, but here it is ready for you.
