What Shape is this? (Denmark)

[npod]

This variant is one of my favorite pipes. It's a Lasse Skovgaard Danish freehand.

Sable, I'd still refer to that as a Danish....because I'm lazy and a professional miscreant.

As a follow up, here is a great example on this topic. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/estate/denmark/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=290030
Notice the wording that SP.com (Rachel DuBose) uses to describe the pipe as an "Acorn-esque shape". So true. I love the -esque suffix. BTW, this is a great pipe for someone looking to jump in to Danish estates.

Bravo!

Thank you... unfortunately after it was clean, I found a crack. Booo. That is 2 in 2 weeks. The other was on a super rare Savinelli. In both cases I am pretty sure both the sellers (ebay) were not aware of the cracks as they were hidden by grime.
The rare pipe is a Savinelli Punto Oro Corallo di Mare in a shape 130 KS and even with the crack I am super glad to have it and add it to my Corallo collection.
