Ser Jacopo La Fuma Smooth Bulldog w/Silver Estate Briar Pipe, Italian Estates, 9mm

Description

Ser Jacopo is one of the most famous contemporary examples of high-grade, workshop-made Italian pipes. It also belongs to a very special tradition in Italian pipe making, having been established by Giancarlo Guidi and Bruno Sordini after the two had left another great Italian workshop, Mastro de Paja. Together, Guidi and Sordini created a brand of pipes that reflected their Renaissance sensibilities – even the figurehead of Ser Jacopo happens to be taken from a painting of a nobleman from centuries past – one that would soon become esteemed for creating unique and elegant tobacco pipes that smoked just as beautifully as they looked.

This Ser Jacopo is a little more traditionally inclined as far as designs go, but it is no less of a Ser Jacopo for it. A stout Anglo-French bulldog, it features a warm, blonde stain, plenty of flame grain, and a little something extra by way of a silver collar.

The condition is good. Some minor wear to the rim and slight finish fading. The pipe is chambered to allow for 9mm filters if its next owner prefers.
