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, 1970-80s The Danish pipe space – if not infinite – is at least impossible to measure with available tools. We keep discovering new names and new makers, and yet it seems we will never get anywhere close to omniscience. The pipes of Bjørn Thurmann are another remarkable element of this universe and a vivid…

    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…
