Description
KUDRET GEZER MEERSCHAUM CARVED PIPE The carving detail on this pipe is absolutely magnificent! It is made of meerschaum ( soft white calcified deposits that are excavated from shallow mines in Turkey). The word meerschaum is German for foam of the sea and is actually calcified sea shells/creatures that have been buried under the earths surface for thousands of years. The material is very porous and relatively soft making it ideal to carve. This vintage pipe was created by master carver Kudret Gezer of Istanbul Turkey and has it’s original box with the tamper for the tobacco. I believe the face is a Pasha (or Pashah) which would have been a high ranking official during the Ottoman Empire. The pipe has not been smoked and is truly a collector’s item. (MEASURES 9" LONG. TOTAL WEIGHT 463.4G)
