Incorporating his signature, Ilsted-inspired linework into the Danish sensibilities he's been riffing on of late, Alexander Tupitsyn has created a deceptively compact bent Brandy with an extra capacious chamber. Tall and generously waisted, the bowl reaches up proudly from its perch atop the abbreviated yet gracile shank — wide from above yet razor thin at its edges, creating a neat 's curve' that runs from the transition to button. Smooth rimmed, it's been finished in a warm, dark sandblast with consistent, craggy rings rippling across the bowl walls.
