Smooth Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe

I associate Former with lightweight Danish classics, making this bent Brandy a bit of a standout piece from him. Plump of bowl, thick of shank, and with just as much elegant curvature as any other piece, it's one that combines muscularity and gracefulness to keep things decidedly "Former" in style. Best of all is the finish - one of his vibrant contrasts, which highlights not just long swaths of flame grain around the bowl, but the way that the grain patterns emphasize the bowl's roundness on all sides. It's a magnificent piece, and one that really shows off the multitude of styles of which Former is capable of executing.
