Elena Doroshenko Rusticated Brandy w/ Masur Birch Estate Briar Pipe, Other Estates

Description

Elena Doroshenko comes from a rather interesting lineage in artisan pipe making, one which manifests, to a certain extent, in her choice of designs. Doroshenko studied pipe making under Sergey Cherepanov; Cherepanov studied under Mikhail Revyagin and Viktor Yashtylov. While Doroshenko herself is Bulgarian, one can see the influence of that particular Eurasian style in her shaping, for example, which tends toward stubbier, more muscular forms. Her finishing, on the other hand, is more idiosyncratic. While she does make smooth pipes, she also incorporates a sort of granular, Italian-style rustication into many of her works, with the results being a refreshingly distinctive synthesis.

The condition is great. Some minor rim darkening.
