Luigi Viprati Collection #8124-8863 *SOLD 8/11/24*
Is Collection the highest grade in Viprati’s hierarchy? I can’t imagine he’d use that term for something much less than the best. You can see the grain pattern in the photos. Also going for this pipe, if it’s your preference, is the size, which is quite large, which I understand is telling you nothing specific, but it’s larger than anything on the Dunhill size template, so my mistake was in not photographing it next to a standard Grp., 4. Maybe if there were a Grp. 8 it would register as that. For sure my thumb fits easily into the tobacco chamber. The condition is new. And not only is the draw. wide-open but, amazingly to me, despite the deep bend and severe curve of the acrylic stem, the pipe passes a cleaner easily from stem to chamber bottom.
6” long, bowl 2.7” tall. Weight: 4 1/8 oz., 118 grams.
