About the Item

This elegant pipe comes from Ardor, one of the most respected Italian workshops renowned for its dedication to craftsmanship and refined design. Carved from fine briar, the bowl displays a warm reddish-brown stain that enhances the natural grain of the wood, offering both depth and character. The finish is smooth and polished, allowing the pipe to radiate understated sophistication. The shank is clearly stamped "Ardor" along with the “30” designation, a marking that highlights its specific line within the brand’s catalog, and "Italy", underscoring its artisanal Italian origins. Adding to its distinction, the stem is fitted with Ardor’s characteristic blue dot, a recognizable hallmark of the brand. The stem itself shows signs of use and oxidation, typical of a vintage example, but remains structurally sound. Ardor pipes are appreciated by collectors for their robust smoking qualities and Italian flair, often balancing functional design with aesthetic appeal. This particular piece, with its tall bowl and clean proportions, reflects a practical yet elegant style, well-suited for long and relaxed smoking sessions. Condition Bowl: Lightly used, with some inner darkening from prior smoking. Finish: Smooth and well-preserved, with natural grain visible beneath the stain. Stem: Displays oxidation and wear, but retains its blue dot logo.
