Irving Korn Collection Basket of Flowers Meerschaum Pipe

Irving Korn Collection Basket of Flowers Meerschaum Pipe - From the private estate of Irving Korn, this vintage Basket of Flowers Meerschaum Pipe dates to 1984 and represents the exceptional quality of hand-carved Turkish craftsmanship from one of the most respected early collectors of meerschaum pipes.

Carved from premium 100% solid block meerschaum, the bowl is sculpted as an overflowing flower basket with deeply carved basket-weave texture, delicately detailed blossoms surrounding the rim, and an elegant arched handle rising gracefully from the back of the bowl. The remarkable depth and precision of the carving reflect the artistry of a master Turkish carver.

Flowing from the bowl is a smooth meerschaum shank fitted with a long designer bent Amberoid acrylic stem marbled in rich forest green with deep honey-yellow highlights. The striking stem complements the creamy meerschaum while providing a comfortable smoking angle. A durable Teflon push-pull fitting ensures a secure connection and allows the stem to be removed easily for cleaning and routine maintenance.

Hand-carved in Turkey from genuine 100% solid block meerschaum mined in central Turkey, this one-of-a-kind tobacco pipe is finished with a natural beeswax coating that enhances the surface while preserving the cool, dry, neutral smoking qualities for which meerschaum is renowned. No break-in period is required, and with continued enjoyment the pipe will gradually develop a rich golden, honey, and amber patina unique to its owner.

The pipe includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity from Jerry Korn confirming that it originated from the private collection of his father, Irving Korn. It is presented in a luxurious blue velvet presentation box with a satin-lined interior, providing elegant storage, protection, and display.

Rare, beautifully preserved, and backed by documented provenance, this vintage Basket of Flowers solid block meerschaum pipe is an exceptional collectible that combines historic significance, masterful Turkish carving, and the outstanding smoking qualities of genuine solid block meerschaum.
