CHARMING WORK OF ART: SMOOTH CUTTLEFISH SMOKING PIPE WITH PIPE STAND

 

The cuttlefish is a small-medium sized mollusc that is found throughout the ocean waters of the world. In the same way as their squid and octopus relatives, cuttlefish have a large, elongated body with tentacles surrounding their mouths. Cuttlefish are found in large numbers throughout the world's ocean waters from the warm, tropical shallows to the cold depths of the deep ocean. Cuttlefish are well known for the "flashing" colours that are displayed on their bodies during fighting and mating. In the same way as squid and octopuses, the cuttlefish also has an ink sack which ejects ink in order to fool oncoming predators. The cuttlefish is a carnivorous animal that primarily preys on small crustaceans such as shrimpand crabs, but the cuttlefish also eats alot of fish. The cuttlefish uses its ability to change body colour to hide itself, before catching its prey with the sucker-pads on the end of its long tentacles which bring the prey into the sharp beak of the cuttlefish.

 

This was just a small introduction of what Andrey Savenko created as a "Cuttlefish VIP Kit". No doubt, he studied the anatomy of this creation very carefully to get his brilliant idea to design and carve such an unique VIP pipe kit. Looking to the item you can easily recognize the Head, complex Body including super spiral and twisted Mantle Cavity, and three Arms. There are more than 40 Cavities on the body of the pipe, each Cavity exhibit the spiral and/or twist manner of carving. Three long and extended Arms are carved in the absolute balance and in the perfect parallel way. The head of the creation is made of the Warlus Tusk and decorated with some valuable red stones. Head is actually the extension of the mouthpiece which is located between stem and the pipe. 

 

Apart from the pipe, its stand is another work of art. The stand exhibits the oval shape and made of Cherry Wood. The general shape of the stand nicely echoes the complex and oval shape of the creation. The pipe can place on the stand easily and through its head (Warlus Tusk) point. This VIP pipe expresses almost unbelievable way of design, astonishing three-dimensional carving, wise use of negative-space and masterful shape and form merged with stunning color and finish.
