SAVINELLI Hand Made

Italy

This pipe appears to be another example from Savinelli’s Hand Made line—a sort of secondary branch of the Savinelli Autograph series. At least all the usual signs are here: the marking style matches other Savinelli Hand Made pipes, the briar boasts a rich, attractive grain, the shape flows naturally, and the blend of smooth finish with sandblasting is convincingly executed.

Pipe markings “HAND MADE”, “ITALY”
Length 12.3 cm (4.84″)
Bowl Height 6.2 cm (2.44″)
Outside Dimensions 3.7 x 4.2 cm (1.46 x 1.65″)
Chamber Diameter 2.1 cm (0.83″)
Chamber Depth 4.6 cm (1.81″)
Weight 57 gr.

Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

The pipe is not for sale. It was restored to order and has already started a new life in a new cozy home.
