I am just calling this piece a freehand. If I had to describe the shape I would lean towards an Egg shape. It is a very comfortable piece in the hand and the fishtail mouthpiece makes if also very comfortable in the mouth. This piece is also a sitter. I really like this piece and it has great capacity, over 2 ½ tall. Hand cut Terra Cotta Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
