Commonweal II Bent Pot # 2357
This is a 1/4 bent Pot with somewhat asymmetrical bowl. On the back left is a carved groove that if right handed your middle finger would naturally fall into the groove for a very comfortable handfeel.
The pipe is a sandblast with a flecks of real gold that reflect the light predominating and hints of moss green that compliment the gold. The rim is totally finished in gold with a sort black rust background, similar to in effect to the British burgundy black staining. The end of the shank has a boxwood extension, that contrasts well with bowl staining and the Cumberland stem.
This is a thick walled pipe that might best be described as Japanese bent "Chubby"
