Ser Jacopo: Sandblasted Billiard with Silver (S3) (A) Tobacco Pipe

Ser Jacopo has been producing pipes for 40 years now, earning a reputation for being on the cutting edge of the Pesaro school of pipe making, and as such, often fashioning muscular or elongated, sleek pieces that embody a playful aesthetic. This Billiard offers rather classic shaping, the bowl poised at the end of a lengthy, sleek shank-and-stem arrangement that extends from a low-set transition. Proportionally dramatic in Italian neoclassic style, it's wearing a lightly stained sandblast and is further commended by a gleaming silver band at the shank end.
