Special Sitting Dragon Knurl Meerschaum Pipe - Dramatic carving of a full bodied fire breathing dragon with wings wrapping itself around a deep lattice pipe bowl. The finely carved dragon is poised on the side of the bowl with its head exetended out and to the front while the scaled tail of the dragon wraps around the back of the bowl to the opposite side. The bowl is carved in a teardrop and round lattice design which carries through to the shank. The pipe has a flat bottom that is carved in a fine rusticated style and the pipe will sit without falling over. A knurl that is both smooth and partially carved in a floral band extends the length of the pipe. It is finished with a bent stem colored in marbled amber tones.
Although this pipe is not signed by the carver it is considered a collectable due to the nature of the carving and its size. It's getting rarer and rarer to find pipes of this caliber.
This meerschaum pipe is hand carved from genuine 100% Solid Block Meerschaum and imported directly from central Turkey. After the pipe is carved it is dipped in beeswax to provide a protective coating and to also draw out smoke particles and tar. The pipe will color over time as it is smoked. The stem is made of a special Amberoid Acrylic for a nice finished look and long lasting durability.
Every meerschaum pipe we sell is hand carved so no two pipes are exactly the same. Each hand carved pipe comes in a custom black leather and velvet lined brass hinged case. The hand made case is a custom fit and unique to the individual pipe.
