Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
VUILLARD, JEUNE, SAINT CLAUDE - the marks on a small smooth Dublin carried by a long, slender stem. This is a French mini churchwarden, pre-smoked and in very good condition. At 180 mm long and 15 g, its outline is extended while its bowl remains small.
Saint-Claude is the French pipe town associated with the name on the shank. Vuillard later appears among the brands grouped within Cuty-Fort in 1988, alongside Chapuis-Comoy, Jeantet-David and Jean Lacroix. That is part of the brand's wider history; it does not date this individual Jeune pipe.

The Dublin bowl widens toward the rim. Here that flare is set against a narrow shank and a mouthpiece much longer than the bowl, producing the proportions described as a mini churchwarden. The bowl is 36 mm high, with a chamber opening of 17 mm and a measured depth of 19 mm.
