Santambrogio - XX n. 61
A generous freehand design defines this Santambrogio XX Freeform, a pipe that deliberately moves away from traditional shapes in favour of a distinctive and dynamic silhouette. The large, softly rounded bowl flows into an angled shank with more geometric lines, creating an appealing contrast between curved volumes and sharper profiles.
The smooth briar, finished in a bright natural tone, allows the variations of the grain to remain clearly visible across the surface. Particularly distinctive is the transition to the mouthpiece, where the shank gradually widens and features a subtle engraved detail that emphasizes its shape. The curved mouthpiece, in warm reddish-brown tones, sweeps noticeably upward and reinforces the pipe's individual character.
Weighing 72 grams, this example belongs to Santambrogio's Grande category. A distinctive handcrafted Italian Freeform pipe for enthusiasts who appreciate substantial proportions, unconventional lines and the expressive freedom of artisan pipe making.
