I picked up a Viprati volcano last summer in Rome at Novelli's. Wow, I thought my volcano was a good example of their work. Your's is fantastic. Is it the light or does the shank get flat on the lower side? Very nice pipe. Congrats.
Thanks again everyone!
Rodo, yes the shank is flat on the bottom. It’s a difficult pipe to photograph, there are so many shape changes and subtleties worked into it, it’s one that’s best appreciated in 3D.
