SIXTEN IVARSSON DESIGN "NEFERTITI" STANWELL 1950's REG ERA SHAPE 01 ESTATE PIPE

Description

Out of the hundreds if not thousands of Stanwell's I've had over the years, I've only had a few of the original "01" shape made by Sixten Ivarsson in the late 1950's, the "Nefertiti". If memory serves me well, it was the first shape he was commissioned to design for Stanwell and although not the first shape Stanwell ever made, it still received the honor of being shape #01! Sixten was the grand father of Danish pipe making and how incredible his work was and popular it became even in factory made pipes. From the looks of the crowned "S" on the stem I can tell this pipe was made in the late 1950's, not long after it was born. You can plainly see why it is called Nefertiti as the profile is unmistakable! It seems to be the dawn of the shield shape or variation of with a touch of Elephant's Foot as well. It's a shape that feels wonderful in hand and offers tons of briar protecting the deep and relatively generous chamber. The transition is effortless to a sturdy oval shank that widens at the face where it is rounded and has an inset vulcanite mortise providing strength that also holds the original fancy vulcanite stem with slight fishtail bit. Finish is a warm medium while the briar displays swirling birdseye and fine cross grain. A fantastic opportunity to pick up one of Sixten Ivarsson's most famous shapes, this Stanwell 01 is not to be missed!
