Fiamma di Re - 1 Corona n. 34
This Fiamma di Re, graded 1 Corona, interprets the classic Bent Apple shape with generous proportions and a soft, flowing and particularly harmonious line. The full, rounded bowl flows into a short, upward-angled shank, from which the strongly curved mouthpiece rises gracefully, creating a compact yet dynamic silhouette.
The smooth polished briar displays a warm honey-orange colour, bright and natural, beautifully highlighting the variations in the grain. Across the bowl, the grain develops into a dense and lively pattern, with small curls and flame-like markings emerging beneath the polished surface, while longer lines appear towards the lower section and follow the rounded contours of the Apple shape.
One of its most distinctive features is the light-coloured decorative insert on the shank, scattered with small dark markings and enriched by engraved details. Its ivory tone creates an elegant contrast with the amber briar and the slender black ring defining the transition. This detail gives the pipe a strongly handcrafted personality and makes the junction with the mouthpiece immediately recognizable.
The black mouthpiece, broad at its base and progressively tapered, develops a pronounced upward curve that perfectly complements the Bent configuration. Its flowing profile visually balances the generous bowl and gives the entire composition a pleasing sense of movement; the characteristic Fiamma di Re emblem is also set into the mouthpiece.
Graded 1 Corona, this Fiamma di Re Bent Apple stands out for its successful balance between traditional proportions and original detailing: an elegant pipe with considerable presence, enhanced by the warm colour of the briar and by the distinctive decorative insert that gives the piece its own unmistakable identity.
