Werner Mummert: Sandblasted Morta Apple Tobacco Pipe

Seamless and straightforward, the profile of this Apple might not, initially, make one think of Werner Mummert's work - that is, until one notices the skillful and unique finish applied to this Morta beauty. The grain of this pipe is quite different from the usual, not just because of Werner's use of material, but the creamy-toned highlights applied, giving an almost zebra effect. The clean lines and stark color palette create quite a stunning piece, and when united as expertly as they have been here, it then becomes quite apparent that this is definitely Mummert's work – and a very fine example of it as well.
