This Neerup is sold as a bent egg, but its more of a Danish freehand thingy than really egg shaped, you could also see it as a apple shaped pipe. Smokes great (only smoked ribbon English in it), "huge" 22x40mm bowl (which is normal for Neerup). It is a bit heavy, but it clenches good because of enough button surface.
Yes - I've seen some nice tulips as well. Some straight eggs as well. Is the Peterson 68 considered an egg shape? I like the army mount ones even though I have no pipes with that much of a bend.
This here Regina Scarlatta bent egg is one of my favorites. Totally effortless clench and a divine smoker.
For some reason I keep forgetting that I have this one.
The Peterson 68 is a bent brandy; the 69 a bent billiard. The closest to an Peterson egg shape is the X160AB or 2023 POTY, they come non-filtered too; this one is 9mm filter:

Nice ! Do they make those currently ? I usually only see X160s.
I stand corrected ... the Strand is the XL25 shape also and is a bent egg. The X160 is egg-like (?).
I'd be more inclined to call it a bent billiard. Not much taper nearing the top of the bowl.
I agree but SP calls it egg-like in their description. I've been looking at the Strands in seconds but haven't found one I like yet ...no rush as I have my vauen which is going strong.
Weird, they call it a bent billiard here.

I’d call the Peterson POTY 2023 a bent egg. I’ve been extremely impressed with the quality of the briar & how well it smokes. Quite surprised to see so many still available online. Maybe the shape is too ‘old fashioned’ for most people?
I agree; weird.
SP.com: Compared to other takes on the bent Billiard, the "X160" boasts a bowl which is significantly more supple and even Egg-like in silhouette, with a supple waist and arcing taper toward the rim.
SP.eu: Appearing in Peterson's 1906 catalogue as a P-Lip Army Mount, the X160 AB was defined by its deep, swan-neck bend and softly rounded, Egg-like bowl.
But then again, there are a lot of things nowadays that seem different from the old days.
