Tsuge: The Tasting (16) Tobacco Pipe

Employing refined understatement for stylized simplicity of form, Tsuge's "16" shape is here part of The Tasting series, presenting a tall, cylindrical bowl with near subliminal curvature to the rim, with a low transition and slender shank-and-stem combination trailing into the distance. It's a fairly long pipe to match its vertical stature, and covered in a low-profile sandblast that well maintains the piece's elegant shaping.
