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.

Pipe markings “TILSHEAD \ ENGLAND, “6”, “MADE BY HAND”
Length 14.6 cm (5.75″)
Bowl Height 5.6 cm (2.2″)

The pipe came to us in generally excellent condition, we had only to patch a small dent on the front of the bowl.

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