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” :-).
