What shape are these?

[tmgaus51]

Can someone please tell me what shape these pipes are, especially the two on top?

I'll say freehand as they do not resemble any shape I am familiar with.

They look like Freehand Reeferinos, Shape #420 to me.

Ha, they come from a site on how to make briar pipes:

Go figure!

Despite the thickness of the shanks, I'd put these in the pot shape family. They're blocky and unusual, but they have that short vertical bowl. I think of freehands as taller and less symmetrical, often with grooves, ripples, or other unique traits. But I think calling these freehands is certainly defensible, but for me, it wouldn't bring these pipes to mind if I didn't have a photo.

Isn't it odd how the word "freestyle" still manages to have a notable shape attached to it? In some swimming circles they refer to the "freestyle" stroke--by which they mean the standard front crawl. Why the confusion? Because in a freestyle event you can use any stroke you like, and the front crawl is the fastest stroke in swimming, so it's the one everyone uses.
