Stanwell Pipe of the Year 1986 Sandblasted Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates

Description

Stanwell is one of Denmark’s most celebrated and enduring pipe companies, having been founded by Poul Nielsen shortly after the second world war. Over the last six decades, Stanwell has established itself as both a leader in innovative Danish design and for producing well-priced pipes with precision construction and engineering. Many of its designs were created for the company by iconic pipe-makers in the Scandinavian scene, such as Sixten Ivarsson, Anne Julie, Jess Chonowitsch, and Tom Eltang.

Since 1979, Stanwell has released an annual, limited edition “Pipe of the Year,” with the majority being designed—as is common for Stanwell pipes in general—by some of Denmark’s greatest pipe makers. As with many of Stanwell’s shapes, including their Pipe of the Year models, this one was designed by Tom Eltang. And, as with many Stanwell Pipe of the Year models from this period, features excellent ring grain sandblasting.

The condition is good. Some rim darkening and finish fading.
