Denmark

Unlike other pipes made personnaly by famous Danish artisan and owner of a World known pipe factory Erik Nording this massive freehand doesn’t have any series names or shape numbers, therefore it would be hardly possible to say for sure when exavtly the pipe was made. We can onlly assume taking into account the shape, quality of briar and vulcanite that this creature belongs to 1970-80s – a great period in the pipe making history!

The pipe marking is “HANDMADE \ BY \ ERIK NORDING”. The length is 17.0 cm (6.69″), bowl’s height is 6.9 cm (2.72″). External dimensions of the bowl are 5.3 x 5.0 cm (2.09 x 1.97″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.9″). The depth is 5.2 cm (2.05″) and this pipe weights 83 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1960s This attractive freehand is not different from the Lane era Charatan’s make Relief Grain series pipes, and this is not surprising: the pipe was made at the same factory during the same period by the same carvers.

England We have a suspicion that the pipe was born in 1979 when a carver saw the “Alien” movie for the first time. Of course, it’s a joke, but the pipe’s shape is extraterrestrial indeed. By the way, we have met a Sasieni one of the same shape recently.
