5" Color Swirl & Carved Body Hand Pipe

5" Color Swirl & Carved Body Hand Pipe: Three Looks on One Spoon

Look at this spoon from end to end and it changes three times. Swirled stripes on the head. Carved rings down the neck. A pocket of crushed color glass at the mouthpiece.

That mix is why it caught our eye. It reads like a small piece of art glass, but it's a 5 inch daily spoon you can actually smoke from.

What Sets This Carved Spoon Apart

The swirl head. Bands of red, teal, yellow and black wrap the head in loose curves, and a small clear glass knob sits on its side.

The carved neck. A run of ridges circles the neck in a pale yellow tint. They work like a built-in grip and catch the light every time you turn the pipe.

Frit at the mouth. The mouthpiece swells into a rounded end filled with frit (crushed color glass). That's where the Orange, Light Blue or Cobalt color shows up.

Colors and Options

Orange puts a warm, glowing pocket of frit in the mouthpiece that echoes the yellow neck.

Light Blue is a pale icy frit, the softest look of the three and a staff pick at our shop.

Cobalt fills the mouthpiece with deep blue that matches the teal bands in the head.

Every pipe is hand-worked, so the head swirl, ridge count and frit spread vary a little piece to piece.

Specifications

How to Use It

Pack the bowl loosely with ground flower. Cover the carb, light, and pull slowly. Release the carb near the end to clear the stem.

Pro Tip: Rest your fingers on the carved rings when you light up. We've found they keep your hand off the hot head and give a firmer hold.

Who It's For

Art glass fans: You like a pipe with a few different techniques on it, not just one color.

Daily smokers: Five inches is a comfortable everyday size (big enough to hold, small enough to stash).

Gift shoppers: Pick the mouthpiece color that matches their style, and we'll pack that one.

Worth Noting: The rounded frit mouthpiece is a little wider than a plain tip. Most people like the feel, but it isn't the sleekest pipe to slide into a tight pocket.

Care and Cleaning

We tap out the ash after each bowl. For a deep clean, our team bags the pipe with 91% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, shakes it so the salt reaches the mouthpiece end, then rinses with warm water and lets it dry.

Warning: Let the pipe cool fully before cleaning. Hot glass under cold water can crack, and the ridged neck has thick and thin spots. No dishwasher.

Common Questions

What does carved body mean on this pipe?

The carved body is a set of raised ridges that ring the neck below the head. They're shaped into the glass, so there's nothing to chip off. The ridges give your fingers a grip and add a band of texture between the swirl head and the clear stem.

Does the color option change the head?

No, the head swirl is the same red, teal, yellow and black mix on every option. The color you choose (Orange, Light Blue or Cobalt) is the frit in the rounded mouthpiece end. Pick the one you want to see each time you take a hit.

What is the clear bump on the side of the head?

That's a small knob of clear glass fused to the side of the head. It's a decorative touch that also gives your thumb a reference point while lighting. Its exact size and position vary a little, since each pipe is shaped by hand.

Is the frit inside the mouthpiece safe to smoke through?

Yes, frit is just crushed color glass melted into the borosilicate, so it's glass all the way through. Smoke passes through the mouthpiece the same way it would on a clear pipe. It cleans with the same alcohol and salt soak as the rest of the pipe.

How long is the swirl and carved spoon?

It's 5 inches long from the mouthpiece to the back of the head. That's a standard daily spoon size, big enough for a solid grip and small enough for a jacket pocket or bag. The rounded mouthpiece adds a little width at the end.

Which option is the most low-key?

Light Blue is the most low-key, with a pale icy frit at the mouthpiece. Cobalt is deeper and bolder, and Orange is the warmest and brightest. We think Cobalt pairs best with the teal bands in the head if you like a matched look.

Do I need a screen for this bowl?

No, the pipe works without a screen if you keep a coarser grind at the bottom of the pack. Some people like a small glass or brass screen anyway, and it'll sit in the bowl fine. It's up to how fine you grind your flower.
