Pat Vottis Smooth Liverpool Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates

Though sparse in nomenclature, I think this pipe may be from Pasquale “Pat” Vottis, a mid-century pipe-maker and tobacconist based in New York. I’m not 100% certain, so If I’m wrong, please let me know.

The pipe itself is a very nice, large Liverpool design, with a screw tenon, which I have seen before on Vottis pipes. While there are a couple of superficial briar imperfections here and there, it is generally well grained, and is a sitter to boot.

The condition is very good. Some slight inner rim darkening and minor handling marks.
