Description
Originally designated as the “D16,” the “128” bent Dublin is one of Peterson’s more classically proportioned shapes. It forgoes the Irish marque’s signature style of robust proportions, trading their oft-seen muscular shank and transition for a more slender, sinuous form. The “D” line was first produced for the Irish marque’s Danish distributor, Larsen and Peterson, around 1996, focusing on traditional Danish shaping and featuring shapes that are more slender and elegantly curved than the hearty Irish style of Peterson’s other pieces. In the “128” bent Dublin, that aesthetic is manifested by a bowl that flicks upward from out of the heel and flares conservatively in a forward cant for a dynamic, sleek profile. Certainly a shape worthy of consideration for those drawn to Peterson’s historic reputation and who want a more streamlined shape-chart standard.
Peterson’s longest-standing annual release, the St. Patrick’s Day line debuted in 1998. The series is among the marque’s most celebrated and highly anticipated releases, and for the 2025 rendition, Peterson spotlights their esteemed silverwork: embellishing a wide range of their signature shapes with a band of the precious metal. Available across four unique finishes — sandblasted, rusticated, smooth, and Heritage — this line represents the spirit of the Irish marque, and its namesake holiday, with aplomb. This particular example is presented in the sandblasted finish and includes a pipe bag made from hand-woven Irish tweed for stylish and festive carry.
