Radice Rind Pure Pipe – Artisan Bent Billiard with Marbled Yellow Stem (Year 2026)

The Italian workshop Radice, led in Cucciago by brothers Marzio and Gianluca Radice, stands as a benchmark for high-end pipe craftsmanship. This specific model belongs to the Rind Pure classification: a variation that highlights the rich, organic texture of the briar through a deep, entirely hand-executed rustication. The model offers an original and exquisitely artisanal interpretation of the classic medium-sized bent Billiard shape.

• Brand: Radice (Handmade in Cucciago by Marzio and Gianluca Radice)

• Model: Artisan Bent Billiard (Medium size)

• Finish: Rind Pure (Rusticated body, smooth natural shank base and rim)

• Chamber: Medium/large capacity with a slightly conical drilling

• Stem: Fishtail in marbled yellow acrylic (Standard tenon mount)

The Shaping of the Shank and Rim

A highly prized element of this piece is the craftsmanship on its lower section. The underside of the shank has been intentionally left flat and smooth—a choice that perfectly accommodates the workshop’s original stampings while creating a visual continuity with the flat rim of the bowl, which is also smooth and finished in the briar's natural color. The end of the shank, where the stem meets the wood, finishes with a smooth, sculpted profile displaying a floral motif.

The Contrasting Stem

Crafted from a vibrant and cheerful marbled yellow acrylic, the stem features a fishtail bit designed for optimal comfort. Visually, the shaping mimics the aesthetic impact of an army mount; technically, however, mechanical stability is ensured by a standard tenon.

Provenance and Dating Stamps

In keeping with the workshop's tradition, the pipe features the stampings that certify its history:

• The 46 Stamp: This number represents the annual progression counted from 1980, the brand's founding year. The 46 stamp uniquely certifies that this piece belongs to the most recent 2026 production, confirming the enduring tradition of craftsmanship carried on by the Radice brothers.
