Peterson Pipes Junior Terracotta Silver Mounted Straight Billiard Fishtail

The Billiard is the yardstick every other pipe is measured against — a straight, cylindrical bowl on a clean shank, all proportion and no fuss. Part of Peterson’s compact Junior line, it’s a small, pocketable rendition of the form, its diminutive proportions nodding to early-20th-century pipe design.

The bowl wears a rich red-brown Terracotta stain, set off by a sterling silver band at the shank and a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem. A neat, affordable little Peterson well suited to anyone who values steady balance over flourish.
