Turkish Estates: IMP Meerschaum Partially Rusticated Churchwarden with Silver (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

While many Churchwardens pair the lengthy stems to demure bowls, this IMP Meerschaum rendering, thankfully, does not; rather, this pipe features a broad-waisted, beadline-wrapped Rhodesian bowl. Housing a wide chamber breadth, the domed rim is dressed in a pebbly rustication, the dimples resembling those on golf balls. The remainder of the stummel is smoothly fashioned, with the abbreviated, flaring shank lent further flourish via a gleaming silver band. It, then, is topped by the long, black mouthpiece, its slight bend and stylish adornments offering a visual feast.
