Rusticated Bulldog Sitter (R1) (C) (Maxmia, Maxima, Maxima) Tobacco Pipe

This triple-Maxima Bulldog rendition from Ser Jacopo offers plenty of mass in hand, with nearly a third of a pound contributing to a commanding presence, and looks equally imposing sitting stably on its unique, flattened heel. The bowl stands quite tall, especially for a Bulldog, with the shape's iconic twin beadlines wrapping a high-set waist. Out back, the slightly raised transition is quite muscular, but the shank tapers quickly to a similarly shaped jet-black acrylic stem. It's dressed in the Italian workshop's stimulating rustication, an earthy aesthetic contrasted by a light, smooth section at the shank end. An incredible piece, sure to delight anyone looking for a massive Bulldog that sits obediently.
