AKB Meerschaum: Carved Floral Bent Dublin (Mcinar) (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

This robust bent Dublin from AKB depicts a floral motif, one of the most popular themes among meerschaum pipe makers and always a pleasure to see. The towering bowl displays flowers in bloom, the petals fully opened, while fronds are depicted just below the rim, which is smoothly rendered. The upwardly curling, equally muscular shank offers woven patterns, the entire pipe boasting a plethora of ornate, detailed carving for plenty of visual and textural intrigue. The stummel will accrue even further character as its darkens with the warm tones associated with patination, coming to more fully unite with the gently downturned saddle stem.
