Most beautiful pipe?

[chuckw]

In a spin off of Oppie's "favorite" thread, What is your most beautiful looking pipe?

For me, it's this Danish cut Astley.

That's some pipe Chuck.

Phil, you made history with that pipe! I'd like it as well if I had invented the nose-warmer cob.
Beautiful? Like a llama's smile.

I would have to say it is my Stanwell:

This isn't the first time I've posted a picture of this pipe, but this Savinelli is the one I'd have to choose from my collection.

I like your pick Phil, Oh great nose-warmer inventor!! I have to think about this one and post a picture later.

Wow! You guys have great pipes. They all have beautiful grain, event the corn cob has a great pattern, reminiscent of brier bird-eye. Here is my little jewel, it's hand made by the local craftsmen of Blatter&Blatter. It's nothing fancy I just like the way the general look of my large billiard.

It's about 6" long x 2" hight x 1"3/4 wide. It smokes like a charm! Actually all my Blatter pipe smoke like a charm. What amaze me the most it cost me 80$can and the quality is amazing. I don't know what are the international shipping policies are but here is their catalogue.

With the exception of my little Ardor in the middle.

Here are my "Most Beautiful".

I smoke those more than any others.

They are my top two fave's.

But, "Fist Full of Dollars" is coming on strong.

I guess it would be this antique

 

[chuckw]

I'm facinated by that Tinsky Lawerance (upper left). What would you call that shape? A fluted calabash? A tulip?

 

[pstlpkr]

The wife calls it my "ice cream dish".
That is very cool Arthur.

 

[jcsoldit]

Lawrence... All of the pipes in the picture are very nice, but that Calabash is something special.
Art... your collection is amazing. I say that based on the pipe posted here as well as the assortment you just posted on another thread. It's like a history lesson on pipes!

Great looking pipes everyone!
Trying to choose just one pipe is like trying to choose between your children. They are all beautiful in their own way.
I would probably say that this Ardor is my most beautiful pipe:

With honorable mention to my Nording and my Luciano:

The Luciano has some great birdseye on the bottom. You can see some really good photos of the Luciano here:

It is really hard to choose. There are a few more that I really love how they look.

 

[pstlpkr]

You are right Bob it's hard to choose.

But I love a good Free Form, I'm with Phil.
However, one of my favorites is my little Ardor.

They are all very nice.

 

[unclearthur]

Thanks guys. The real old pipes are fascinating.
