CHARATAN’S MAKE Selected FH

England, 1960s

A vivid testament to the idea that creative freedom fosters an endless array of perfect creations. During Charatan’s golden era, the brand’s finest pipes were crafted by leading artisans who disregarded catalogs and standardized shapes. As a result, among Charatan’s top series, such as the premier Supreme or the second-highest Selected, you will never find two identical pipes. Each piece was shaped by the master’s vision and guided by the unique qualities of the briar itself.

Bowl Height 4.0 cm (1.57″)

Chamber Diameter 2.3 cm (0.9″)
Chamber Depth 3.3 cm (1.3″)

Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. We can only mention a slightly corrected button, what is noticeable in very bright lighting, and a very slight darkening on the rim, apparently due to not-so-careful lighting.

The pipe has been thoroughly cleaned, polished, sanitized and now is ready for a new life.
