This Ser Jacopo is one dark, beautiful billiard of lofty stature, sporting just the right amount of weight around its bottom to lend the bowl a slender tulip shape. The transition to a strong shank is smooth, yet delightfully pronounced, and the stem and shank as a whole are slim and graceful in their proportions. This Italian piece is a beauty to be prized, of that there is no doubt, and a generous chamber ensures the lucky man who
carpes this
diem will be granted long hours of self-indulgent enjoyment.
