JAMES UPSHALL Tilshead 6
England, 1984-96
An eye-catching and unique, large and capacious pipe, meticulously designed by the former top Charatan carver, Barry Jones, for the esteemed James Upshall Pipe Company. This exceptional creation seamlessly combines high-quality briar with a mesmerizing grain, skillfully carved into an alluring shape. Our estimation places this pipe between 1984 and 1996, as evidenced by the absence of a logo on the mouthpiece, alongside a size designation on the pipe, with the stamping appearing to be pantographed.
