Nording Grade B Freehand Cherrywood Sitter Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates

About this pipe:

Nørding was founded by Erik Nørding in the 1960s, and is one of the oldest remaining companies to come out of the Scandinavian pipe-making renaissance that began in the mid-20th century. Now in his 80s, Erik Nørding is one of the most experienced and skilled pipe-makers in the world, and over the decades he has also been a teacher of other Danish masters, such as Poul Ilsted, Svend Axel Celius, Jens Tao Nielsen, Peder Jeppesen, and Søren Erik Andersen.

Judging by the design, ebonite stem, and stamping, this looks to be an older Nording pipe from decades past. It’s a great freehand sitter in composition, one leaning toward the traditional cherrywood shape rather than eschewing tradition entirely.

The condition is great. There’s some light inner rim darkening.
