Description from the seller

Up for auction, a superb exemplar for discerning collectors: a Dunhill The White Spot Ring Grain, shape 4106 (Pot, Group 4), dated 1974.
The "Ring Grain" finish represents the pinnacle of Dunhill's technical craftsmanship: the pipe is made from cross-grain briar. This process allows the blasting to bring out the growth rings of the plant in three dimensions, creating the spectacular horizontal "flames" and the concentric rings that wrap around the entire bowl. A technical detail that guarantees not only superior aesthetics, but also an exceptional smoking performance thanks to the density of the fibre.

• Condition: Professionally restored by the Gilli Pipe laboratory in Turin. The pipe has been sanitized and the original blasting is intact and deep.
• Stem: Original, polished, with a very light superficial bite mark on the rim (documented in photos), a testament to the courteous use of a historic piece.
• Set: Complete with box, pouch and original documents from the era.
