Salt Series Dry Handpipe
"I was trying to understand these adaptations and specialized evolutionary qualities. Like why does a creature need eyes on its back and teeth on its face? What conditions made this a favorable mutation?" —Salt
This creature is a mystery. Its blunt protrusions, stony, single-eyed stare, and long ugly teeth seem to have no purpose, no relation to each other, until you turn it over, fill the bowl and prepare to puff — suddenly it all makes sense. Your thumb fits right into its gaping maw, the stubby extensions fit right in between your fingers. The more you look at it the more you'll be drawn in by its simultaneous heft and fragility.
Impressive detail, mottled coloring and a disturbingly realistic eye make Salt's glass handpipe a unique addition to your home and your smoking kit. You may already own a pipe, but Salt's work is truly a collector's item.
This one-of-a-kind piece is part of a series of handpipes created by respected Austin, Texas-based glass artist Salt. Inspired by strange creatures at the bottom of the sea, these mysterious invertebrates appear to see all. Each piece is signed by the artist and never replicated — your pipe is the only one like it.
