I believe they are a seconds lineAnyone ever hear of that line? I don't believe I've come across one before. Loosely translated it means "heather flame".

Or maybe they aren’t
Yes basically a grade of their flame grains lower than being branded with SavinelliWhile "erica" can be translated as heather, it can also be translated as a related plant: briar. I would translate "Erica Fiamma" as "Flamed Briar" or "Briar Flame". Possibly an equivalent expression to "flame grain"? I don't really know pipe words in Italian.
probably a fill? Or bald grain.Interesting there's not one photo of the right hand side of the bowl.
I was wondering that same thing. It also says in the link I posted that the stem was acrylic. But I don’t know if they just mean newer pipes?It just occurred to me looking at the above link that @chasingembers pipe has probably had its original stem replaced with a stem from a Venezia. Looks like the stamp on the other ERICA FIAMMA is a little sun, unless that’s a glare in the photo haha interesting!
The sailboat has appeared on many of my 904s.It just occurred to me looking at the above link that @chasingembers pipe has probably had its original stem replaced with a stem from a Venezia.

Yep, the stem on the one I posted is heavily oxidized. The pipe itself is unsmoked.I was wondering that same thing. It also says in the link I posted that the stem was acrylic. But I don’t know if they just mean newer pipes?
Erica arborea is tree heather. Briar is an English corruption of the French bruyere.it can also be translated as a related plant: briar
Outside of the Artisan and Giubileo d'Oro lines, most of them do.?it will definitely have fills.

I've never seen a 904 in that line.Interesting! Are the others part of the Venezia line? I’m curious because I’ve never seen that boat on other Sav lines, and it seems they stopped making the Venezia’s a while ago.
Most of mine are from discontinued lines, many are pre '70s. The acrylic stems of their newer offerings are painful to clench so I go after the older vulcanite lines.it seems they stopped making the Venezia’s a while ago
Haven’t the foggiest as to whether it’s taxonomically accurate. I’m just stating the fact that (at the risk of violating our English-only rules) “la Erica” can be translated as “briar”.Erica arborea is tree heather. Briar is an English corruption of the French bruyere.
