Fleur De Lis by GBD 9437 Meerschaum Lined Pot, Estate Briar Pipe

Description

From the beginning of the 20th century until the early-1980s, the famed GBD pipe company had factories in England and in France. Fleur de Lis was a sub-brand manufactured in the French GBD factory, specifically for meerschaum-lined pipes.

This really is a rather beautiful pot from GBD’s Fleur de Lis make. The straight grain patterns around the short and wide bowl make for a wonderfully elegant little pipe, an elegance which the pipe’s blonde stain and simple vulcanite stem further accentuate.

The condition is remarkable too. There is only minimal tooth chatter on the stem, while the finish and the meerschaum insert have held up near-impeccably.
