Grigoriev

Andrey Grigoriev was born in Saint-Petersburg in 1982. He started making pipes in 2004 as a hobby, while he was working as a professional engineer.
In 2006 he met Viktor Yashtylov, russian hi-grade pipe carver and became his pupil. In 2010 he continued his education in Viktor's workshop as an apprentice, working with him hand by hand, learning the secrets of pipecarving, adopting his methods and training the style. With the help of the great master he became a professional pipe maker and under Viktor's supervision he started to carve his own quality pipes. Andrey Grigoriev lives in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

GtP

GtP stands for Gouda Tobacco Pipes. The pipes are made in Gouda, The Netherlands, by a man named Adriaan van der Want. He is the last in a long line of Gouda clay pipe manufacturers. The pipes are very pretty to look at and they come in different sizes, shapes and colours. I have 3 GTP pipes, never bought one though. The pipes give a reasonably cool smoke especially compared to the traditional long Gouda clay pipes. However they tend to get hot and because they have a double siding you can get some trouble with [moisture]. As far as clay pipes go, the GTP pipes are rather good.From the following A.S.P. thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/alt.smokers.pipes/DlI7WFNYVeM/0JVc3Xsy_oIJ
Zenith (or in full: Zenith van der Want) is one of their main marques.From the following A.S.P. thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/alt.smokers.pipes/DlI7WFNYVeM/0JVc3Xsy_oIJ

Guild Pipes

Guild Pipes are made by John Fordam
The following is from his website: I remember well as a boy saying “what is that wonderful smell,” it was a pipe and I was hooked. My first drugstore pipe. The cherry tobacco and the burnt tongue. Had to be a better way. At 14, I walked into "Jack's pipes” and told him my sad story. This began my formal education in pipes. I learned the how, why, care, cleaning, who made the good ones and why many are, well, just bad. The history and books followed, with knowledge of tobaccos and their origins. I didn't know it at the time, but I had been given a mentor. I remember the day an order came in with a bunch of wood blocks and squares of exotic woods and black as coal plastic looking, long rectangles. He said “want to make your own pipe?” I never thought in terms of they were actually made. I thought they came out of some sort of an exotic machine, “sure" I said. That was the beginning. Many days later I was the proud owner of a handmade pipe. 
Several years later, I got to be a guy that could make a pipe. Jack had passed on and I was in the military making free pipes for my friends in my spare time. I didn't know it at the time but, they would get the material and I would go to work. Thankful, I remembered how to do it. It never dawned on me till years later I was quite gullible. The pipes I saw in Italy, Germany, Greece and all the Mediterranean countries made me humble. There were places that turned them out in baskets but there were these small shops that peaked my interest, turning out these gorgeous handmade pipes which I couldn't afford. I had it figured now. Machine or by hand. No choice here. I watched and listened to anyone that made pipes. Saw most of the little things, or secrets that make a good pipe a great smoker! 
Pipe makers are a different group of people. They usually have a great amount of experiential knowledge, are craftsmen, and love briar and its mysteries. Most of all, the ones I’ve met want, with a passion, to give you the pipe smoker an experience that transcends this world, to a quiet place where all is well and you are at peace. Nature makes the briar, man makes the pipe, but God is in the details.

Gustav Fischer

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Gustav Fischer is a highly respected sculptor of meerschaum pipes from the late 19th and the first decades of the 20th century, that had works on show at the Museum of Tobacco Art and History (now closed). 
[[File:Gustav Fischer.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Gustav Fischer, from [http://tobaccopipeartistory.blogspot.com]]Born in Austria, and having graduated from the Vienna Academy of Art, Gustav emigrated to New York in 1893. He moved to Boston in order to work at the David P. Elrich Company, where he made meerschaum pipes with mythological figures, elephants, horses, and cowboys. He never signed his pieces. 
*The following article by Ben Rapaport contains very well researched information on this interesting artist and his work. It appears in Pipes & Tobacco Magazine
*This is an interesting article on Ficsher's beautiful depiction of The Battle of Bunkerhill
The article states' "Boston's Gustav Fischer Sr.’s rendition of the “Battle of Bunker Hill,” after John Trumbull’s famous oil on canvas, “The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775” (1786). It stands out as one very remarkable sculpture, a monumental two-pound, 34-inch-long meerschaum work of art with 31 high-relief-carved figures, three American flags, and one British flag, a pipe that he carved over a period of four years."
*Gustav Ficsher Jr., his son, made briar pipes and ran a specialty shop.

Gülel

Turkish meerschaum brand by Medet Kara created in 2002. Medet was born in 1962, and began working on this art at only 11 years old.
Medet Kara is still active as an artisan today, and highly detailed carving seems to be the rule for his modern work, but his older Gulel pipes have typically been much simpler in design and detail.

H.A. Savinelli

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
H.A. Savinelli was an Italian wooden pipe artisan/sculptor--but not in briar. He was active in the 19th century. A pipe he sculpted around 1850 was on display in the now closed Museum of Tobacco Art and History in Nashville, TN (USA).

H.I.S.

H.I.S., or Hugo International Series, is a line of seconds made by Gardesana, largely for export. The pipes are stamped H.I.S. and Italy. At some point it would appear the pipes were imported by Mastercraft, in that they appear in brochures for Dr. Grabow in the early 1970's.

H. Jones Easyloader

H. Jones Easyloaders were made by Savory or Parker (under the Dunhill banner) for Tinder Box in the 1970s-1980s. They were "Easyloaders" because of their dramatically beveled rims, allowing for the pipe smoker to easily load their tobacco in preparation for a smoke. The H. Jones moniker may have been a reference to an "H. Jones" tobacconist in London active in the 1940s-1950s. 
From tinderboxinternational.com, "Tinder Box was originally founded in 1928 by Ed Kolpin, one of the true pioneers of the pipe business. After many successful years Kolpin desired to give others the opportunity to experience Tinder Box and sold his first franchise in 1959, long before franchises where common among American business operations. Ed Kolpin the tobacconist to the stars, liked to hold court with old Hollywood. Bing Crosby went into his Santa Monica shop for the artisan's handmade pipes. George Burns bought 99-cent cigars to smoke but $10 stogies to give to friends. Marilyn Monroe never bought anything but regularly stopped in to chat. Ed Kolpin was an original and there will never be another."

Hachiro

Seiji Hachiro is the son of Reiji Hachiro, owner of the well-renowned Japanese online pipe shop Pipe-Do.
Growing up with pipes he made his first pieces at the age of 14 and still aged 15 he showed them on his father's layout at the 2005 Chicago Show. His pipes didn't gain a fair attention by the visitors only-- even more, his great talent was recognised by famous pipemakers like Edward Andrew Jurkiewicz (E. Andrew Briars) or Teddy Knudsen who became his mentors. Seiji spent some time afterwards at Ed's home. He went to the USA furthermore in his summer's highschool vacations learning how to make pipes from Tonni Nielsen, Lee von Erck and Ed.
Meanwhile Seiji works from his own workshop in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo in Japan.

Hahn, Klaus

Klaus Hahn is a German artisan from the Duisburg. He has made pipes as a hobby since the 1980s, with a small production in which "the shape follows the grain". He uses ebonite stems and accessories such as synthetic amber, horn, and exotic wood.From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
In 1988 I turned my hobby into a passion, and started to manufacture handmade pipes in my workshop. The mouthpieces are hand cut from Ebonite.
The high interest in my pipes encourage me to offer them to dealers in Germany and Switzerland. You may see them in shops in Aachen and Basel.
In preparing my pipes I reject the use of putty fills, but have no problem with small spots, since these do not spoil the pleasure of smoking in any way. I place great value on the inherent grain in the briar, and work to obtain a beautiful surface to accentuate the Straight or Birdseye grain of each piece. This leads to pipes of medium and larger sizes. They have smoking advantages that many of my fans appreciate.Translated from hahnpfeifen.de

Hamric

Zack Hameric, from his website: "Every journey has a beginning- mine started just out of college as a woodworker at Opryland USA in Nashville, TN. One of the most fascinating parts of that for me was making pipes- over the years, I made many pipes, primarily freehands in the Danish style. Fast forward thirty years- After almost three decades of raising a family and taking the typical corporate track, I ran across some equipment for sale from an old pipe repair shop. Bought it...carved a couple of pipes...spent a small fortune on tooling....and a larger fortune on briar...and now I'm on track to carve seventy pipes or so this year. 
My approach is a simple one- produce the best pipe I can with the finest materials that I buy directly from the source. My wife Greta and I just returned from three weeks in Italy where we visited our briar supplier in Calabria- a third generation cutter. The stems for my pipes are all hand-cut from only SEM Ebonite or Cumberland. My bamboo is ordered directly from China."

Hansen, Per

Per Hansen (*1948), educated as an electrician, had started making pipes in his leisure times for Hans Hartmann before he worked short-term - appr. two months - for Preben Holm. There he met and made friends with Ulf Noltensmeier.
Hansen joined S. Bang still in 1970 while Noltensmeier moved on to work subsequently for Anne Julie before he followed Bang's call in 1971. Therewith the Bang crew was complete and the success story of the Bang pipes really began.

Hansen, Poul

Poul Hansen
Poul Hansen was a very skilled toolmaker and builder of machine tools. Around 1960 he got in contact with the workshops of Pibe-Dan, W.Ø. Larsen and others. So he began to make a lot of special tools and machines for a large number of the Danish pipemakers in the early 60's. He was inspired by the many beautiful pipes he saw when he visited the pipemakers and soon he decided to try out the art himself.
Poul Hansen was basically "self taught" and his early attempts suffered from kinda awkward shapes and finishing. Things turned for the better significantly when Sixten Ivarsson, appreciating the talent, began to tutor Hansen for a while and taught him the vital "tricks" of pipemaking. Soon after Hansen was in business fine. Right from the start he avoided the competition at home and concentrated on the American, Japanese and German markets.
Iwan Ries in Chicago was one of his first American dealers and in catalogs form the late 60's and early 70's you can find Poul Hansen pipes ranging from 125 - 500 $US. In Japan, his pipes were prized even higher at the same time. For the German market, Hansen made some very elegant 9mm filter pipes which rank among the best ever made in this tier.
Hansen carved the bulk of his pipes during the 1960's and 1970's. Around the midst of the 1970's he took over a small Copenhagen tobacconist's shop from it's retiring owner. Now, operating the shop took a lot of his time but vice versa secured a steady income, and Hansen reduced his output considerably. BTW In Denmark he only sold a very limited amount of pipes - but some of his very best.
File:PoulHansen1.jpg
File:PoulHansen2.jpg
 
He stamped most of his pipes "HANSEN" + "BRIAR" + "HANDMADE" + "DENMARK" (the latter sometimes vertically). Few pipes are grouped "MEMORIAL" instead of "BRIAR". If these are grading names, Memorial is considered to be the higher.
When Poul Hansen in 1998, at a very old age, decided to stop making pipes (due to his poor eyesight), the remains of his workshop, including a fairly large number of pipes, were bought by one of the leading Danish suppliers of briar and rods. Some of the tools are still there, but all the pipes - many not stamped yet - were obtained by Lars Kiel in early 2002. Some of these pipes are now up for sale.
Poul Hansen is little known in today's circles, those collectors (especially in the States) who have his pipes, tend not to sell them.

Harcourt

The brand Harcourt was produced by Preben Holm (†) for Dunhill to secure a share of the Danish fancy boom for Dunhill's principal pipe dealers. Later Erik Nørding made Harcourt pipes for a shorter period. These pipe are sometimes (partially) rusticated.
It had been reported that the second generation of Harcourt pipes were sold exclusively through Dunhill stores, but we now know through Rich Mervin that the Brick Church Pipe Shop, a chain of 3 stores in NJ sold Danish freehands in the 1970s and 80s including Knute, Ben Wade, and Harcourt. They were also an authorized Charatan and Dunhill retailer. So, apparently Harcourt freehands were sold through at least some Dunhill dealers as well as the Dunhill stores.
The stamping includes a letter, and seem to adhere to the Preben Holm grading scale with grades of A, B, C and D in ascending order.
