Special Turtle Hand Carved Meerschaum Pipe - The turtle meerschaum pipe stands out for its rarity and craftsmanship and the unique story it embodies. The domed shell offers a deep pipe bowl. The turtle is firmly positioned on a solid, wide platform, allowing the pipe to sit and not topple over. The detailed carving of the scales on the turtle's crawling legs adds a unique texture to the carving. The smooth shank seamlessly connects to a beautifully scrolled, marbled stem, culminating in a straight mouthpiece that features a subtle dip for comfort. This rare find not only serves as a highly collectible piece of art but also sparks conversations among enthusiasts and collectors alike. With each puff, one can appreciate the artistry involved in its creation, making it much more than just a smoking pipe—it is a testament to the rich traditions of pipe carving that continue to captivate aficionados around the world.
This meerschaum pipe is hand-carved from genuine 100% solid block meerschaum, and it is imported directly from central Turkey. After carving the pipe, it is dipped in beeswax to provide a protective coating, which also helps to draw out smoke particles and tar. The pipe will change color over time as it is smoked. The stem is made from a special Amberoid acrylic, which provides a great finished look and long-lasting durability.
Since it is hand-carved, each solid block meerschaum pipe we sell is a one-of-a-kind work of art. This hand-carved meerschaum pipe comes in a handmade brass-hinged case covered in burgundy leather and lined on the inside in velvet. The pipe case is custom-made for this specific turtle meerschaum pipe.
