Natural Sandblasted Prince with Durat Tobacco Pipe

The Prince is a timeless shape that's graced shape charts for well over a century, and it's typically defined by a squat, rounded bowl, slender shank, and elongated, slightly bent stem. This particular iteration by Portuguese artisan Sabina Santos expands upon that traditional form and draws inspiration from a specific version by historic Danish artisan Sven Knudsen. Instead of a standard, cylindrical shank, this Prince features one of diamond cross section — like that of a classic Bulldog — incorporating a sense of sturdiness and rigidity to the otherwise fluid form. Moreover, Santos has accented the pipe with her signature use of Durat, a synthetic material that utilizes recycled plastic to create vibrant patterns. It's complemented by a lime-green stem of hand-cut vulcanite for further visual vibrancy that contrasts handsomely against the stummel's tanblasted finish.
