MUSEUM-GRADE 1950s BLOCK MEERSCHAUM — CARVED BY LEGENDARY MASTER İHSAN GİRGİN!
⸻
🧾 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This is an authentic 1950s master-carved block meerschaum pipe created in Eskişehir, Turkey by the renowned early artisan İhsan Girgin, one of the foundational names in the golden era of Turkish meerschaum carving.
Carved from pure old-deposit block meerschaum, this piece displays the dramatic facial detail, deep cuts, and expressive Ottoman-style beard and headwear that define early Girgin works. Each line was shaped entirely by hand — no machines, no molds, no pressed material. This is the true historic meerschaum collectors chase.
The bowl remains 100% unsmoked (NOS) — extremely rare for a 70+ year-old pipe.
Comes with its original vintage workshop box marked with an old Turkish 6-digit telephone number, confirming its mid-century origin.
A rare opportunity to own a master-level, early-period Turkish carving with full historical integrity.
