Alveare is Italian for "beehive" and is quite the appropriate name for Ardor's newest carved finish. The combination of lines, etchings and quasi-smooth areas all seem to echo that long-standing Ardor finish. But, the result is completely different, since the focus isn't on little patterned squares and rectangles and instead runs around the bowl and shank. This Pipe is finished with a beautiful onyx coloured Acrylic Band, complimented with a Silver Band on the Swallow-tailed Acrylic Mouthpiece.
Presented in an original Ardor pouch and box.
