Under the peculiar title Via glazed tips and bouts lacqués to the 275, Don Duco published an article about one specific pipe model, namely the well-known lacquered tip, or the “275” as the pipe is called according to the catalogue. The story describes step by step the development over almost two centuries of the pipe with a half-long bent stem, invented in England, produced in France and later copied in Gouda. A shape that, despite its English origin, was ultimately seen as specifically Dutch. A fascinating story about trivial shifts in the market that only the connoisseur can decipher.
