Crafted from genuine African meerschaum and finished in a rich golden rustication, this Peterson pipe stands out with both texture and character. The classic Peterson bent billiard shape is paired with a jet-black vulcanite P-lip stem, offering the signature Peterson draw and comfort. Unlike Turkish meerschaum, African meerschaum is denser, giving this pipe a more briar-like feel while still offering the cool, dry smoke meerschaum is prized for. These particular pipes have become increasingly rare and sought after. This would be a great vintage pipe to add to a collection.
This particular piece features a beautifully charred rim and a warm natural patina developing throughout the bowl — a testament to its history and the character it gains with use.
