Description from the seller

Up for auction, an exemplary piece 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 mastery: the pipe is made with cross-grain walnut (cross-grain). This process allows the blasting to bring out the tree's growth rings in a three-dimensional way, creating the spectacular horizontal "flames" and the concentric rings that envelop the entire bowl. A technical detail that ensures not only superior aesthetics but also an exceptional smoking performance thanks to the density of the fiber.

• Conditions: Professionally restored by the Gilli Pipe laboratory in Turin. The pipe has been sanitized and the original sandblasting is intact and deep.
• Mouthpiece: Original, polished, with a very slight superficial tooth mark on the rim (documented in the photo), testimony of the careful use of a historic piece.
• Accompaniment: Complete with box, pouch and original documents from the era.
