Mandala Straight Meershaum Pipe – Large
Intricately hand-carved mandala patterns adorn this stunning meerschaum pipe, right around the outside of the bowl, down the shank and even round the top of the bowl’s rim.
Paired beautifully with a marbled, amber-coloured lucite stem, this one’s a real head turner!
Feels great in the hand with a nice large bowl size, chunky shank and fishtail mouthpiece.
Presented in a bespoke, velvet-lined, hard case with a metal clasp closure to keep it safe when not in use.
Found only in Turkey and some parts of Northern Africa, meerschaum is a highly sought after material in pipe making, popular for its porous qualities.
The snowy white mineral, made from fossilised sea creatures, is also very porous and will darken as it it used, eventually turning to caramel, reddish and dark brown colours.
Approximate dimensions:
Length – 155mm
Bowl depth – 48mm
Bowl diameter – 24mm
All dimensions are approximate and are intended as a guide only.
PLEASE NOTE: Meerschaum can be fragile, especially when your pipe is new, make sure you never take it apart to clean while it’s still warm, wait for the pipe to properly cool and never bang the bowl on a hard surface when emptying – it’s sure to break!
