Sandblasted Bent Egg (2025) Tobacco Pipe

Giacomo Penzo's style is a blend of various influences, incorporating Danish, Italian, and Anglo-French design elements that are skillfully integrated throughout his portfolio. Originally from Italy and now based in Ireland, Penzo possesses a remarkable ability to create both timeless, classic pieces and bold, expressive designs.

This bent Egg serves as a striking example of his more expressive work. This piece is a playful display of momentum, starting with a well-canted bowl that elegantly flows into the curled shank. The bowl features supple walls that rise from a lifted heel and taper slightly toward the rim. The shank emerges from the transition and curves upward toward the mouthpiece, gently flaring as it approaches the end. Beneath the shank, two ridgelines provide structural definition to the otherwise curvaceous form. True to Penzo's Italian inclinations, the grain on this piece is magnificent, as growth rings perfectly line the bowl's flowing flanks.
