Svendborg Piber: Difference between revisions

Ilstedt's argumentation doesn't seem to be absolutly fair: even though Svendborg turned to produce mainly serial pipes under Seiffert's influence each of the three partners was free to work on his very own one of a kind pieces as well! Since it was Seiffert's basic idea to profit from - especially - Tao 's and Ilsted's creativity to design new shapes. There are many knowlegdeful collector's who confirm that these early Svendsborg pipes class among the most individual, innovating and exiting designs Danish pipecrafters created at that time.

BTW, like many other manufacture in Denmark Svendborg used to stamp the pipes with the initials or the name of it's individual maker. (Not consequentely executed on ''each'' pipe, though!) For that purpose Henrik Jørgensen created the virtual pipemaker '''"Jan Hansen"''' and stamped his pipes accordingly "JH". Jørgensen was aware that using his own initials "HJ" on the pipes might not be a very wise thing to do in Denmark.¹
