The classic Pot bowl meets the elegance of an exceptionally long, slender shank in this Piero Vitale Pot Pencil – 2 Stars. The broad bowl, with its slightly flared walls, features a beautifully textured sandblasted finish in deep brown tones, with reddish highlights revealing the natural grain of the briar. The smooth upper rim provides an attractive contrast with the textured surface. The pipe is crafted from briar purchased from Mimmo Romeo in 2023/2024 and naturally seasoned.

The well-defined sandblast brings out the growth rings of the wood, creating a rich texture of fine ridges that extends from the bowl along the slender shank. The transition to the black SEM ebonite mouthpiece is enhanced by an elegant stabilised Afzelia Xylay burl insert, treated with black pigment and distinguished by its subtle variations in colour.
