England, 1960-70s
A Charatan’s pipe from the ‘Lane era’ (1960 – middle 1970s), the period of the brightest blossoming of this brand, with delightful shapes and grains that eclipsed all other pipe makers, including Dunhill. A nicely made Belvedere series pipe of the classical and cozy bent shape!

Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The stem is newly made of the fresh piece of vulcanite so we can consider the pipe as a “partially unsmoked” :-).
The pipe was accurately smoked, it has been thoroughly cleaned, polished, sanitized and now is ready for a new life.
