This is a really tough choice. I'd be happy with either one. I'm voting for #1. The silver spigot and tortoise shell stem does it for me.

I think the tulip rim was an artifact of lazy workmanship that was embraced for business reasons by the companies who made clay pipes. (Very difficult to tilt the soft clay bowl without doing it)

Meaning historically "legit" doesn't mean it should have existed in the first place, aesthetically.

My opinion? A bean pot's place in the world is to contain beans, not tobacco.

I really wish there was a more contrasting shot for One—what appears as a hard edge of the stem where it meets the metal of the spigot still bugs me; the Tulip shape on Two bothers me, but, I like the overall feel. I'm on the fence with this one and will need to think about it. I much preferred the one piece and the one with the bamboo shank and colourful stem much more than either of these.

Except the discussion isn’t about spigots, but shapes. Neither pipe qualifies as a historically accurate Cutty if shank is the limiter.
True but that silver is hard to overlook when considering the starker transition visuals from stem to bowl. A cutty to me is a simpler visual shape. So... you're almost right. nnnn
