Ser Jacopo: Maior Sandblasted Hawkbill (S1) (A) Tobacco Pipe

This Hawkbill from Ser Jacopo offers numerous appreciable elements, including a tall, cylinder-shaped bowl imbued with a forward-urging profile. The Pesaro workshop is known for its playful, creative designs and this piece fits right in with that aesthetic. The angled heel tips up a bit, ready to balance the iconic downward arcing shank and stem, which is seen here in panel form. The dichotomy of the rounded bowl and structured shank makes for a pleasing contrast of form, with the stummel wearing the modern red and black Maior sandblasted finish that embodies molten lava creating fissures along its path. In this piece, the rim and a trim band at the shank end are dressed in a complementing ruby tone, all of which combines for a captivating, lengthy design.
