Smith House Partially Sandblasted Canadian (New)

Taking their name from architect Richard Meier’s avant-garde homestead just off the Long Island Sound, Smith House Pipes are the creation of New York artisan Rich Rosselli. Like the Danish-American functionalists before him, Rosselli excels at creating modernized renditions of tried-and-true, traditional, Anglo-French staples. This he combines with novel uses of color and ornamentation, giving Smith House Pipes their acclaimed, signature aesthetic.

In this instance, Rosselli has kept things very traditional, pursuing a Canadian rendition sans accoutrements, reminding what can be done with just briar and ebonite. There’s definitely an old-world feel to it, especially with its craggy, ring grain blast, though the slight plumpness and organic shaping of the bowl do lend it a subtly contemporary edge.
