GBD Shape descriptor

[alphacitybill]

I'm guessing this is a fairly recent vintage GBD pipe...a Colossus ROSE level in a 1759 shape. One source calls the shape a "canted" brandy, I like to the the ROSE is both a level and a shape name since the bowl shape looks much like a closed rosebud.
Image button seemed on the fritz...no pix...

I'd like to see that. You need to put the picture in an album here or any photo hosting site (postimg.cc is easy to use)
Any chance this is the pipe?

Jerry Hannah's old GBD site says the "Rose" finish was introduced in the 1981 catalog, if so, that is one of the last pre-Cadogan GBD's.

Here's another Rose 1759 with a completely different finish!
