About the Item
ONE BRIDGE CALABASH SMOOTH SMOKING PIPE
One general point that you can easily find in all of Peter's work is how masterfully he carves and forms the shape of calabash. This beautiful Calabash pipe is a combination of three elements; charming finish and beautiful contrast, dynamic shape and total balance. The pipe has a beautiful bridge, which starts from the Foot of the Tobacco Chamber and ends at the second Chamber. Interestingly, nice piece of Sucupira decorate the Shank Face and add a great value on the appearance.
About the Artist
Peter Kotlyar was born (1973) and raised in Vladivostok city, Russia. The passion of carving the pipe was in his soul and soon he was completely fascinated by the variety of the shapes and systems. When he bough his first pipe and smoke it he was just thinking he could carve a pipe for himself and by his hands. The fist work was not perfect but very promising for him. Soon he carves more and more until the time that he became a master. He mostly learned from his mistakes and now his pipe are placed all around the world. " I am making pipes for my soul and not for the commerce" he said. He is carving his pipes with the briar from Spain and Sardinia, for the mouthpieces he uses the German ebonite and cumberland. He mostly inserts some antique materials in his smoking pipes and in this case he has his own unique way and technique to express his feeling during carving.
