This striking estate piece is a beautiful representation of modern Italian design and family tradition: a Lorenzetti Galatea. Handcrafted in Recanati, Italy, by a workshop that has been refining its art since 1934, the Galatea series is named after figures in classical mythology, reflecting the deep cultural roots and artistic flair typical of fine Italian briars.
It features a spectacular smooth finish with a warm orange-auburn stain that showcases an abundance of vibrant flame grain sweeping up the sides of the bowl, anchored by dense birdseye grain across the base. The shank is fitted with a prominent, bright aluminum accent band that features a series of elegant ridges, creating a sharp, modern transition between the rich briar and the mouthpiece. The sleek black acrylic stem is adorned with Lorenzetti's script "L" logo, stamped cleanly on the side.
The precise physical measurements for this Italian classic are:
With its highly versatile 0.75-inch chamber diameter and a standard 1.5-inch depth, this pipe is an exceptional all-around performer. It will easily accommodate ribbon-cut Virginias, traditional English blends, or a favorite daily aromatic. Fully cleaned, refreshed, and polished to a bright luster, this Lorenzetti is ready to bring excellent mechanics and a touch of Italian elegance to your regular rotation.
