Werner Mummert: Sandblasted Bulldog with Glow-in-the-Dark Resin Tobacco Pipe

Known for his strong, muscular style, and innovative designs, Germany's Werner Mummert is among the most respected pipe carvers working today. This sharp Bulldog is a characteristically ridge-laden piece for Mummert. Reserving the shape's beadlines for the tapered rim, the bowl's walls are perfectly straight, coming down to a pointed heel with paneled flanks that allow the pipe to sit comfortably on its side. The slim diamond shank is fitted with a vulcanite saddle stem accented with glow-in-the-dark resin, in a typically playful Mummert flourish. Dressed in the German artisan's signature sandblast, the ring grain on display is unparalleled in its definition and engaging texture, all stained a deep auburn hue. Between its impeccable craftsmanship and luminescent properties, this will certainly be hard pipe to misplace.
