SVENDBORG Baltic 402

Denmark, 1970-90s

A very convincing and stylish large Danish pipe. The company was founded in 1970s by Henrik Jørgensen, Poul Ilsted and Tao Nielsen and successfully produced practical and affordable Danish pipes untill the acquisition by Design Berlin in late 1990s.

The pipe markings are “Baltic \ Svendborg \ DANISH \ HAND MADE”, “402”. The length is 14.5 cm (5.71″), bowl’s height is 5.0 cm (1.97″). External diameter of the bowl is  4.1 cm (1.61″),  internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.3 cm (1.69″) and this pipe weights 52 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat. The stem is newly made from the fresh piece of vulcanite so we can consider the pipe as a “partially unsmoked” :-).

    Denmark An extraordinary Danish work! As every proper Danish pipe it’s made of a good briar, shows nice grain and has skilfully designed freehand shape. But the most of all we’re absolutely amazed with its sense of equilibrium – the pipe can surely balance just on its heel (back side of its bottom). Some signs…

    Denmark The history knows a few extraorinary men: Bård Hansen (Norway) known for his Tabago brand, Jan Hansen (pseudonyme used by Henrik Jørgensen from Svendborg), Per Hansen (a pipemaker worked for S.Bang) and of course Paul Hansen (Hansen Briars) – a pupil of Sixten Ivarsson and one of the most respected and collected Danish artisans.

    Denmark, 1980s At first sight, the pipe appears to be a part of the illustrious “Danish Golden era” freehands, standing proudly alongside the likes of Preben Holm, Karl Erik, and Holtorp creations. And indeed, this initial impression seems warranted, as the nomenclature reads “SUNALP \ HANDCUT DENMARK.” However, our investigations led us to an interesting…
