Doctor Watson Estate Block Meerschaum Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

I’ve said before may times that the closest art form to meerschaum carving is classical sculpture, and that this is perhaps most exemplified by the form of the bust, which each commonly employs. This one takes as its subject a far more modern figure than classical sculpture however, that being one of the two most famous fictional pipe-smokers ever: Doctor Watson. Here we find the venerable doctor wearing his signature bowler hat and sporting his signature mustache.

This Watson meerschaum is completely unsmoked, ready to be filled with its owner’s personal “Arcadia Mixture” for its maiden voyage.
