PIPE HISTORY
The Mastro de Paja workshop was founded in Pesaro in 1972, by Giancarlo Guidi together with several artisans from the Marche school.
In the 1970s and 1980s the company became one of the symbols of the Italian school of artisanal pipes, characterized by:
free-form shapes
artistic finishes
contrast between natural briar and dark parts
strong aesthetic personality
The pipes from Guidi’s early period are today highly sought after because they represent the most creative and artisanal phase of Mastro de Paja’s production.
