Vintage Hand Carved Pipe with Grotesque Motif - USSR 1950

This charming vintage pipe features a hand-carved design, featuring an elaborate grotesque pattern that makes it a one-of-a-kind piece. The top of the pipe depicts a stylised face with extraordinarily realistic details, made even more impressive by the craftsmanship. The object, made of wood with engraved finishes, reflects the skill of a master carver, probably from the Soviet area.

The sinuous lines and the original design suggest a production dating back to the 1950s, a period in which such pipes were particularly appreciated both for their practical use and as decorative or collectible objects. The pipe has a solid and well-preserved structure, with the bowl part well defined and without evident damage. The natural patina of the wood testifies to its age and adds a touch of authenticity.

Ideal for collectors of historical memorabilia, vintage pipe enthusiasts or lovers of traditional craftsmanship, this piece represents an excellent addition to a collection. The object presents with very light signs of aging that underline its historical and artistic value but overall it is in excellent condition.
