Rind Pure Billiard with Faux Bamboo (2025) Tobacco Pipe

As if a Rind Pure was not rare enough, here is a rare Radice Rind Pure with a bamboo-carved shank. The design is well in line with the Italian neoclassic style, with a robust bowl that rests on a broad heel, tapering up to a smooth rim. The briar shank is carved to emulate bamboo and is so realistic that it's odd to see it without a separation line between the shank and the "bamboo." With a classic Italian stance, it provides a natural look and feel. The Rind Pure is necessarily free of imperfections, testifying to the high-quality briar used to create this stylized rendition. Imagination fails to foresee how nicely this piece will color with patina over the years.
