Is It Danish Or Italian?

[kcghost]

It was made in Italy. End of story. A pipe can be carved in a country other than where the company is located. The "style" of pipe is not germane to the question.

You! You are not allowed! You and your youness! Don't break my brain. It's only held up by scotch tape and chewed gum.

You're welcome

So Brighams are Italian now?

From what I can gather, yes.

I believe they are hand made by Cesare Barontini and his daughters Sylvia and Barbara in Luvorno, Italy (Tuscany). He trained the guy who owns Ser Jacopo per an interview with owner of Ser Jacopo.
So ... a very good pipe.

The problem is that Stanwell is still owned by a Danish company.

I don't think there is any problem or confusion. Stanwell's current production is manufactured in Italy, therefore they are made in Italy.

 

[Alejo R.]

But is it still considered a Danish pipe?

You can consider them Danish design. In time it will be forgotten. The shapes that are considered the quintessence of the English style of pipe making were created in Saint Claude and you don't look at a Dunhill billiard and say that it is a French pipe.

So it's still a Danish pipe?

No

I would like to see those Stanwells made in London and know their history.

When did they start outsourcing? I bought a Stanwell in Denmark in 2009 and have always assumed it was made in country.
