Antique Turkish Meerschaum Pipe
SKU: 202505235382
Introducing antique pipes.
This pipe is called a "mesham pipe" and is made from sepiolite, a type of meerschaum found in Türkiye.
It is said that the porous meerschaum has just the right amount of absorbency, making the tobacco taste milder.
It starts out pure white, but turns a beautiful amber color as you use it, and due to its beautiful shape it is also known as the "Queen of Pipes."
This is an old meerschaum pipe with a man's face design, likely made in Türkiye.
There is some burnt dirt on the inside of the bowl, but it has turned a beautiful amber color.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
