Description from the seller

In this lot a refined and splendid collectible for true connoisseurs: an antique pipe entirely made in authentic and precious Sea Foam, complete with its rigid case milled precisely to the object’s shapes.

The bowl presents a smooth surface, with a classic and elegant line, characterized by a very light and magnificent amber color transition on the upper edge due to natural vintage use (break-in). The shank/bore shows at the base a refined original stamp engraved depicting a leaf/garland motif, a distinctive symbol of excellent artisanal craftsmanship. The mouthpiece is made of amber-toned hard resin with a splendid veined texture in a tortoiseshell effect.

The rigid case is a piece of high craftsmanship: externally covered in brown leather with a smooth zipper and a perfectly functioning metal snap closure, while the interior is elegantly lined with coordinated velvet and satin to protect the pipe from knocks and moisture.

The item presents in excellent vintage condition, intact, with no structural cracks or damage to the foam, perfect both to smoke and to display in a prestigious showcase.

Technical details:
• Body material: 100% Genuine Sea Foam
• Mouthpiece material: Amber-veined resin
• Case: rigid case lined in leather and velvet
• Dimensions: Length 15 cm / Width 7 cm / Height 5 cm
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition, light signs of use on the bowl attesting to its authenticity.
