Pipe Case

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver pipe case by Georg Jensen. Long, curved, and narrow, the case resembles a canoe or boat. The top and bottom edges curl upward. Decorative silver vines adorn the left side while a pattern resembling an arrowhead appears on the bottom. A shiny finish reflects light. The background appears flat and light-colored.
