Used Italian Pipe Ascorti Pipa Club Venezia 2005 Sandblasted - Bent Egg

A Piece of History: Ascorti Italian Pipe, Pipa Club Venezia (2005)

Pipes made exclusively for clubs are always a prized find for collectors, as they combine original designs with the craftsmanship dedicated to the most experienced smokers. This magnificent example, carefully restored and sanitized (broken in), was made in 2005 by the renowned Lombard workshop for the historic Pipa Club Venezia. A rare opportunity to own a truly prestigious Ascorti Italian pipe in exceptional condition.

Fascinating Bent Egg Shape and Deep Sandblast Finish

The design features a fascinating, sinuous Bent Egg shape (the classic curved “egg”). The stem's pronounced curve and the elegantly rounded bowl, which tapers toward the top, ensure a very comfortable grip and perfect balance. The bowl boasts a distinctive deep dark sandblast finish (almost a “rock” style typical of the maker), offering exceptional tactile grip, elegantly contrasted by the smooth upper surface of the rim.

Exclusive Details and Historic Engravings

The generous stem features a smooth section bearing the wood-carved engravings “ASCORTI,” “Pipa Club Venezia,” and the year “2005”, while the opposite side proudly bears the inscription “HAND MADE ITALY”. The mouthpiece, made of glossy black methacrylate, features an elegant twin-ring joint and is marked with the classic “A/S” (Ascorti) logo inlaid in white.
