Peder Jeppesen Ida Sandblasted Straight Brandy Estate Briar Pipe, 9mm [SOLD]

Description

Peder Christian Jeppesen is an artisan pipe-maker from Denmark. Beginning his career in the workshops of Karl Erik and Erik Nording, he later began a solo career under his own name, as well as under the ‘Neerup’ Moniker. In the years since, Jeppesen has come to be recognized as one of Denmark’s premium carvers, including through his partnerships with Erik Stokkebye and the 4th Generation brand.

Before he subdivided his high-grade pipes into the Ida Easy Cut and Boutique lines, Peder Jeppesen’s high-grades were his Idas (without ‘Easy Cut), while his Neerups were his standard-grade pipes. This Ida is from that period. Named after his daughter, the Ida series was an outlet for Peder’s most creative explorations of hand-made pipe carving, often featuring silver ornaments (as this one does) and labor-intensive finishes such as contrast stains (as this one has. The shape of this one is a very Danish brandy, with a distinctly broad base and an unconventionally narrow shank in proportion to its bowl. There is more than a little of Karl Erik’s style in this one – though there’s nothing wrong with paying tribute to one’s teachers.

The condition is very good. There’s a little rim darkening, and some chatter on the stem, but I wouldn’t call it major. The pipe is chambered for 9mm filters as standard, but would likely accommodate an adapter of some variety, if its next owner would prefer to use it without one.
