Ser Jacopo: Smooth Apple with Silver (L2) (A) Tobacco Pipe

Ser Jacopo is known for crafting bold, muscular designs with their quite large Maxima pipes being some of the largest briars on the market. This straight Apple from the Italian workshop is far more conservatively shaped, adhering rather closely to the English classic design, the affably plump, rounded bowl with its low mass and easy taper to the rim presenting traditional shaping. It's paired to an abbreviated, rounded shank and fishtail stem that's accentuated further by a gleaming band of silver at the shank end, while the stummel is wearing a light, honey-blonde stain that does well to show off the briar's natural grain.
