This is a vintage San Marino Continental briar pipe, made in Italy and crafted with that classic warm chestnut grain you get from good Mediterranean briar. It has a beautifully curved shape with a comfortable sculpted stem and a brass band detail, giving it a really elegant look.
The pipe has been used, so there’s a natural carbon cake inside the bowl and some gentle age-related wear, but it’s solid, well-made and ideal for anyone who enjoys collecting or restoring quality briar pipes. The curved form and Continental styling make it a lovely piece for display, gifting, or for adding to a tobacco pipe collection.
Dimensions: 14 x 3 x 5cm
A great example of mid-to-late 20th century Italian pipe making with plenty of character.
