Lasse Skovgaard: Partially Sandblasted Double Mushroom Tobacco Pipe

One of Denmark's premier artisans, Lasse Skovgaard produces pipes that prioritize supple curves, gorgeous finishes, and superior engineering. This Double Mushroom is a striking example of Skovgaard's style, featuring a bold, expressive outline that is uniquely executed. Its distinctive character comes from the integration of the rim and shank end — typically separate elements — into a unified form above the transition, creating the "double" effect referenced in its name. This design is further enhanced by a pocket of negative space just above the transition, a small void that accentuates the pronounced flare of both the rim and shank face. Additionally, the rim and shank face are emphasized by the finish, with the pipe's joined aspects highlighted by a glossy smooth finish while the rest of the composition is dressed in a crisp, earthy sandblast.
