Sandblasted Morta Tomato with Bamboo (B) Tobacco Pipe

A charming, organic number, this morta Tomato from Max is a stunning and welcome addition to the carver's portfolio. It fits naturally with the Italian carver's style, exuding a disposition full of easy curves and apparent organicism. The bowl is high-waisted and generously plump, with the transition tightly tucked underneath the bulging insulating walls. Behind, three knuckles of bamboo extend the shank as well as reinforce the naturalistic motif. The craftsmanship here is wonderful, the transition from bowl to bamboo to stem, sturdy and seamless, echoed by the classy color palette.
