Tsuge: Tevina Sandblasted (102) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-099-10920
Tsuge's Tevina series draws direct inspiration from a series of sculptures called Teasobi, which was created by one of the esteemed artisans from Tsuge's Ikebana workshop, Asami Kikuchi. With Teasobi, Kikuchi captured the tactile delight of cradling a finished piece of wood in one's hand and the pleasure of witnessing it organically sway after setting it on a surface. The Tevina series recontextualizes Teasobi in the form of a briar pipe by embracing bold, naturalistic shaping. Impressively, each Tevina is a resolute Sitter, as the curvaceous contours cause the pipe to rock back and forth before settling at its stable center-of-gravity. The "102" is offered here, which closely resembles the Fish shape, pairing a plump, rounded bowl to a bulging shank face framed by a crisp ridgeline. Additionally, this particular "102" is dressed in a rugged sandblast, further enhancing the intriguing feel in hand.
