Partially Sandblasted Bent Dublin with Ivorite Tobacco Pipe

Widely known for her signature pencil shank offerings, Scottie Piersel is equally masterful at creating more robust designs, as seen in this palm-filling bent Dublin. Presenting a muscular disposition, it remains a lightweight pipe, a feat not easily accomplished. The hearty bowl flares toward a wide, chamfered rim, showing a touch of plateau; otherwise, it's stained a light chestnut hue that showcases beautiful freckles of large and small birdseye. A thick, gradually upturned shank is topped by a downturned blue-and-black brindled vulcanite saddle stem, while a trim ring of Ivorite lends a handsome accent and lightens the composition. Scottie has dressed this piece in one of her low-profile sandblasts, highlighting a lively array of concise growth rings in this eye-catching, creatively envisioned pipe. Another great example of the American artisan's dedication to crafting pipes with an emphasis on function, engineering, comfort and longevity, with the adroit shaping and finishing an integral extension of the pipe's usefulness.
