A New Old Stock French Classic Featuring Exceptional Briar Grain, Twin Rim Incisions, and Original Matching Briar Pick & Tamper Accessory
The Architecture & French Pedigree Originating from the world's historic briar capital of Saint-Claude, France, the Guermantes series by Butz-Choquin is celebrated for its elegant lines and high-grade briar selection. Shape 1806 presents a sturdy profile anchored by twin decorative grooves near the crown. The natural golden-amber stain showcases a striking cross-grain topology—featuring dense birdseye on the bowl flanks and tight flame grain running along the underside. Preserved in unsmoked New Old Stock condition, this piece comes paired with its original, custom-turned briar tamper/pick tool styled to echo the double-ring design of the bowl.

Nomenclature: Left Shank: Butz-Choquin script over GUERMANTES. Right Shank: ST CLAUDE over FRANCE and shape code 1806.
