British Briar London Tan Sandblast Short Lovat Estate Pipe 1895-1970: $95.00
Stamped BRITISH BRIAR, MADE IN LONDON, ENGLAND on shank only-no shape number, grade mark, or secondary maker's name present. Tan sandblasted short lovat with vulcanite saddle stem and fishtail mouthpiece slot, unfiltered. Compact profile pairs rounded, gently waisted bowl with longer slender shank and characteristic saddle-stem shoulder. Seller's in-hand assessment suggests Peterson sub-brand or vintage alternative to Peterson shape 53 lovat; shape-archive dating window 1895-1970 at medium confidence. Genuine estate piece showing honest wear: darkened rim from use, bite marks on mouthpiece slot, patina consistent with years of collection rather than display. Dimensions: 128mm length, 44mm bowl height, 35mm bowl width, 40mm bowl depth, 20mm camphor diameter. Weight 1.1 oz. Sandblast finish reveals briar's winter-growth grain structure in relief-softer summer wood naturally eroded by abrasive process. Ideal for the collector drawn to understated London craftsmanship and pre-war briar character.SKU: SKU-030
