Winslow: Smooth Billiard with Silver (B) Tobacco Pipe

Danish pipe maker Poul Winslow has been making pipes for decades, and this straight Billiard puts both his skill and penchant for gestural designs on full display. A tall bowl tapers gently from a lifted heel, and the shank presents a pencil-thin profile as it stretches toward a broad fitment of sterling silver. The stem is amber-hued acrylic, and a variety of handsome grain patterns enliven the stummel, made unmissable under a bright contrast stain and smooth finish, altogether offering a comforting, friendly presence in hand.
