Regina Scarlatta - n. 117
This Regina Scarlatta fully expresses the creative freedom of the Freeform shape, with a tall, slender bowl and a distinctly dynamic profile. The upper rim is dramatically angled and shaped into a flowing, beak-like contour, giving the pipe an original and elegant silhouette without making its proportions feel heavy.
The smooth, polished briar is one of the most attractive features of this example. Warm shades of honey, amber and deep brown highlight a dense succession of grain patterns wrapping around the bowl and continuing towards the shank. The upper surface is particularly striking, where the grain forms a rich and lively pattern around the chamber.
This Regina Scarlatta is classified 4 Crowns, indicating the quality grade assigned to the piece and its selected briar. Adding further character is the prominent bamboo section along the shank, with its distinctive nodes and natural irregularities deliberately preserved. The light golden colour of the bamboo creates an elegant transition between the darker briar and the long glossy black mouthpiece, introducing a strong organic accent to the composition.
Standing 63 mm high and weighing only 38 grams, this Freeform combines considerable visual presence with surprising lightness. A distinctive 4 Crowns Regina Scarlatta in which sculptural shaping, attractive briar and the characteristic bamboo detail come together to create an original and immediately recognizable pipe.
