Sven's genius as both designer and pipe maker are very evident in this pipe. It is a deceptively simple bent billiard, one with a beautifully shaped and very capacious bowl, and extra long shank emerging fluidly from the heel, and a handcut German vulcanite bit with elaborately turned boss in the style of the day. It's a first rate sandblast as well. What sets it apart is the overall balance and harmony, which clearly pays homage to the classical bent billiard, yet evolves that quinessentially British shape into one that is quintessentially Danish--which is to say fluid, harmonious and well balanced.
This pipe is a magnificent smoker, notably comfortable in hand and mouth, and very light for its size. It would bring out the best in your English mixture, despite its national origin. Condition is first rate.
