AKB Meerschaum: Lattice Bent Dublin (Tekin) (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

A style of bent Dublin we don't often see from AKB Meerschaum, this piece from the Turkish workshop showcases a dynamic profile, with a flattened base right under the transition. Said dynamism presents at the strikingly forward urging bowl, its flare to the rim proportionally balanced with the angled shank, balancing the two halves of this pipe quite nicely. Beneath the domed rim is a handsome lattice carving which matches a similar carving at the shank end, marking the start of the demurely curved saddle stem's travel, its black hues contrasting the pale white of the stummel quite well.
