Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:44462939 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Denmark |
| Brand: ANNE JULIE | Body Shape: ACORN |
This is quite an early pipe from Anne Julie, one of Denmark's finest carvers of all time and certainly the most famous female pipe maker of all time! While this pipe has a repair, it remains in decent condition and will smoke just fine. The shank was at one time broken in half it appears and then fixed and it appears it was a relatively clean break as it could easily be overlooked. Other than that however, the bones of the pipe remain in good order and the chamber is quite clean. It's ...a lovely bent blast Acorn shape that shows Ivarsson influence to my eye. The bowl carries nice thick walls surrounding a modest chamber yet plenty of capacity. It tapers to a point and the shank transitions about halfway up the bowl and thickens where it is extended by a two knuckle bamboo section. Stem is vulcanite and may or may not be original as many of Julie's very early pieces did not yet have the signature red/white circle logo. The blast is quite nice showing awesome starburst grain on the right side and the finish a deep reddish brown. The nomenclature is light but legible enough to see Anne's stamp. If you are a pipe smoker who focuses on how well a pipe will smoke rather than appearance, this is your pipe as besides what I consider strictly aesthetic issues, this pipe will smoke the same as the day it was made!
