[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 188267"] Problem was that Ascorti & Radice were increasingly parting ways over whether to carve for quality or volume ; Davoli figured that adding Ascorti's son to the shop would have tipped the influence balance into the rupture that happened later anyhow so he kept him out ("Caminetto" was Davoli's company and used his production shop & equipment). Never had a 1st generation (thin gold moustache) one but two second generations (Roberto) (white moustache) smooths have been masterpieces of carving & styling. Except for the cast stems (that need opened and, being brittle old castings, tend to explode when they are), they're dynamite. (Explosion : not an old wives tale. Happened to one I gifted a friend not many months ago when he -- very carefully -- tried it). (Notice the disclaimer on Ronnie B's site that he won't be responsible for damage to lucite stems). FWIW :face: [/QUOTE]
