The Ventose Beige 1775 is distinguished by a decorative finish that resembles ink spreading across water. Layered brown and beige tones cover the bowl and shank, intersected by irregular dark lines that create an almost abstract pattern.
A polished acrylic stem continues the colour scheme through translucent amber and cream swirls. Its gentle curvature follows the semi-bent billiard profile, while the tapered mouthpiece maintains a relatively slender appearance.
The pipe accommodates standard 9mm filters and can also be used with its metal filter insert, offering flexibility according to the smoker's preferred arrangement.
Butz Choquin was established in Metz in 1858 by Jean-Baptiste Choquin and Gustave Butz. Its early designs helped establish the company as a notable French pipe maker, and the brand subsequently became associated with the pipe-making centre of Saint-Claude.
The Ventose Beige collection represents the decorative side of the manufacturer's catalogue, applying contemporary colour treatments to established briar pipe shapes.
