Ser Jacopo: Picta Miro Sandblasted Billiard with Silver (S2) (C) (08) Tobacco Pipe

The late Giancarlo Guidi, founder of Ser Jacopo, was an avid art collector and enthusiast. So much of an enthusiast, in fact, that he created the Picta line — a series inspired by pipes featured in the works of major artists like van Gogh, Miro, and Magritte. This Picta Billiard takes inspiration from Joan Miró's work. As a shape, it features a gently flared bowl that stands at the fore of a paneled shank and a slender tapered stem. A sure-Sitter, this piece boasts the confident posture of a Poker, but with the angularity of a Bulldog, making it an intriguing and dynamic composition. A crisp, earthy sandblast dresses the ensemble and highlights healthy grain across the bowl's flanks, while an accent of sterling silver adorns the junction and ties the shape together with a dose of flash.
