OK, so we've resolved that it's not a pot, and probably an apple, although I like the apple/prince description, @chasingembers. What I do know is that the thing smokes like a dream. It's an estate scraped back to bare briar, and even without any cake the thing smokes incredibly cool with an effortless draw. I tend to smoke very "wet," yet the chamber is dry after every bowl. I now understand what people are saying when they say a pipe "smokes itself." This is the second artisan pipe I've bought, after a Michael Kyriazanos acorn, and I will have to give some serious thought to scraping my pennies together and springing for only artisan pipes, which can easily be had in the $200-350 range on the estate market, rather than giving in to the temptation of having more pipes of a lesser quality, having now had the time and opportunity to compare artisan vs. factory-made pipes. There are many very solid factory pipes, and I love my old patent number Stanwells, but for me, personally, there's a world of difference.
Sp is wrong in their description, won't be the first or last time that happens. If it were a pot, I wouldn't like it, the fact I do like it means it is not a pot, simple huh. :lol:
SP should hire you to do their write-ups and divide pipes shapes into two categories only: "Harris likes it" or "Harris doesn't like it." That would simplify things for the rest of us. :lol:
