Jacono - knight n. 41
This Jacono Poker Stand-Up is built around a bold, essential geometry, with a cylindrical bowl measuring 48 mm in height and a perfectly flat base that emphasizes its upright stance. The traditional Poker architecture is interpreted here with compact, substantial proportions, while the shank extends almost directly from the lower portion of the bowl.
A dense, irregular rustication completely covers the sides of the bowl and continues uninterrupted along the shank. The very dark background of the finish is enlivened by numerous ruby-red highlights, creating a lively texture whose intensity changes with the light and emphasizes the tactile character of the briar.
Color becomes especially prominent on the broad smooth upper rim, where the red finish appears brighter and allows the natural structure of the wood to remain visible. A narrow smooth band around the bottom of the bowl echoes the same color, effectively framing the rugged rustication between two cleaner, more regular surfaces.
The translucent red stem continues this distinctive color scheme, beginning with a fuller, more geometric section before tapering into a straight and slender profile. At 56 grams and with its self-standing configuration, this Jacono has the substantial presence expected from a Poker while gaining an unmistakable personality from the contrast between dark rustication and vivid red transparency.
