Where is meerschaum found and how is it carved?

Posted by Burak Servi on 9th Mar 2022

The highest quality Meerschaum deposits are in only one area of the world, the open plains of central Turkey which surrounds the city of Eskisehir. Meerschaum is mined wet from depths of up to 400 feet. 

Our carvers then transform this block raw stone in to smooth, elegant shapes and intricately carved designs, have been handed down from generation to generation by using the same hand carving techniques. This makes our meerschaum pipes one of the most prestigious, enjoyable and beautiful pipes you can own.
