Radice Rind 46 Pipe: The Classic Pear Shape of the Year 2026

This pipe was crafted entirely by hand in the Cucciago workshop by the Radice brothers. The model features the classic Pear shape, a silhouette with smooth and sinuous lines that ensures an extremely ergonomic grip and a pleasant feel in the hand.

Dating, Stamping, and Classification

This specific piece belongs to the Rind line and bears the 46 stamping. The Radice brand's dating system begins in 1980 (the founding year of the workshop, identified by the digits 00); consequently, the number 46 certifies the exact year of production, which is 2026. This detail allows collectors and enthusiasts to chronologically place the piece within the workshop's production history.

Aesthetics and Finishes

The aesthetics of this model play on a striking contrast of color and texture:

• The Rustication: The pipe bowl features a sharp, deep rustication—a manual process that not only gives the object a strong character but also offers a secure grip and optimal heat dissipation during use.

• The Coloration: The finish is enhanced by a light coloration, designed to bring brightness and highlight the ridges and details brought out by the carving.

• The Stem: The shank accommodates a standard, polished black acrylic stem of the tapered (conical) type. The choice of acrylic ensures maximum scratch resistance and prevents yellowing and oxidation over time.

Bowl Technical Specifications

• Capacity: The bowl proves to be fairly capacious, making it ideal for medium- to long-duration smoking sessions and generously accommodating various types of tobacco.

• Internal Geometry: The drilling of the combustion chamber is cylindrical.

• The Bottom: At the bottom, the drilling narrows into a slightly conical shape.
