Royal Meerschaum 15th Anniversary Elephant Meerschaum Pipe

Royal Meerschaum 15th Anniversary Elephant Meerschaum Pipe - This rare collectible elephant meerschaum pipe was carved in 1985 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Royal Meerschaum Pipe Company. Crafted from the highest grade of genuine block meerschaum, the pipe is impressively lightweight for its size and features exceptional depth of carving. The sculpted details bring the elephant to life—from the textured folds of its large ears and the downward-curving trunk framed by smooth tusks to the expressive, hand-painted eyes. The pipe is fitted with a deep, dark, translucent amber-toned bent stem that complements the ivory hue of the meerschaum.

Inside the presentation chest is a silver-and-blue emblem that reads: “Royal Meerschaum Pipe 15th Anniversary, 1970–1985, San Marcos, Calif.” This anniversary edition is a remarkable find and an especially desirable piece for collectors.

The pipe is hand-carved from 100% solid block meerschaum imported from central Turkey, the world’s finest source of this rare mineral. After carving, the pipe is dipped in natural beeswax to protect the surface and encourage the development of a rich patina as it is smoked. The Amberoid acrylic stem adds beauty, rigidity, and long-lasting durability.

Because every block meerschaum pipe is individually carved by hand, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. This anniversary elephant pipe comes housed in a custom-fitted blue velvet, brass-hinged chest made specifically for this design.

Truly exceptional, this museum-worthy pipe highlights the artistry and skill that define the finest meerschaum carving. Highly prized by collectors, it offers a rare chance to own an iconic piece of Royal Meerschaum history.
