I guess there's a bit of playfulness in the shaping a bit of formal exaggeration, so I see why people are thinking it might be Italian. But this pipe is as American as apple pie.

Briar Works?

But this pipe is as American as apple pie.

Perhaps a hint?
Mark Tinsky - American Smoking Pipe Co.?

Artisan, not factory. But not Mark Tinsky.

Hint: the owner of the shop was a pipe designer, but not a pipe maker.
