This Regina Scarlatta interprets the Tulip shape through a flowing and particularly elegant design. The bowl is full and rounded towards the base before gradually becoming more slender towards the top, naturally recalling the profile of a flower bud, while the angled chamber rim adds movement and gives the shape a refined and distinctive character.

The smooth, polished briar displays highly expressive grain, further enhanced by an intense stain combining shades of ruby red, mahogany and very dark brown. Long flame grain rises vertically across the bowl, following its elegant contours and continuing onto the shank, creating a striking contrast between the luminous grain and the deep background colour.

This example is classified 5 Crowns, a quality grade beautifully complemented by the selection of briar and the richness of its grain. Particularly attractive is the chromatic continuity between the bowl, shank and mouthpiece: the latter carries similarly deep reddish tones, allowing it to blend naturally into the composition without visually interrupting the pipe's flowing line.

A sophisticated 5 Crowns Regina Scarlatta in which the organic character of the Tulip shape, striking flame grain and deep red-mahogany colouring combine to create a harmonious and immediately recognizable pipe.
