Turkish Estates: Unknown Meerschaum Figural Bent Dublin (with Case) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Fashioned by an unknown maker, presumably in Turkey, this finely carved bent Dublin is of excellent quality in its materials and construction. The broad-domed rim is decorated with bead-like carvings, mirroring those which rest just below it and near the middle section of the bowl, framing an intricate leaf and vine motif. A soft, round heel meets an abbreviated upturned shank fitted with an acrylic stem in dark amber hues, bent for easy clenching. Over time, the stummel will patinate with use, further heightening this pipe's already formidable visual appeal. Unsmoked.
