Special Basket Weave Topkapi Meerschaum Pipe

Special Basket Weave Topkapi Meerschaum Pipe - Inspired by the architecture of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, this meerschaum pipe is a testimonial to its beauty. A beaded pattern frames carved pillars and indentations of scrolled designs that depict portions of the palace's construction. The pipe's calabash lip features a circle of carved round beads that mirror the pillars' bead design. The lower portion of the pipe's tall bowl features an intricately carved basket weave pattern that seamlessly extends onto the shank, adding texture and visual appeal. With its generous depth, the bowl offers ample space for packing tobacco. A translucent, scrolled designer stem in a graceful bend completes the pipe and adds to its elegant character. It is colored in a striking blend of light and dark amber tones. The overall craftsmanship of the pipe showcases a perfect balance between functionality, artistry, and history. Every detail reflects the skill and dedication of the carver, making it not just a smoking pipe but a true work of art.

This genuine meerschaum tobacco pipe is hand-carved from 100% solid block meerschaum, and it is imported directly from central Turkey. After carving, the pipe is dipped in beeswax to provide a protective coating, which also helps to draw out smoke particles and tar. A meerschaum pipe provides a cool, dry smoking experience and will change color over time as it is smoked, developing a rich patina. The stem is made from a special Amberoid acrylic, which provides a beautiful, finished look and long-lasting durability.

Each solid block meerschaum pipe we offer is meticulously hand-carved, making every piece a truly unique work of art. This exquisite meerschaum smoking pipe comes in a custom-fit case, crafted from black leather with a soft velvet lining and finished with a brass hinge. The case is specifically designed to protect and showcase this one-of-a-kind meerschaum pipe.
