MBSD Meerschaum Masters by Kenan Bear Handmade Block Meerschaum Pipe, New

Description

MBSD Meerschaum Masters is our line for special, typically figural, meerschaum pipes carved by some of today’s greatest living meerschaum carvers. For this pipe, we enlisted the services of Turkish master Kenan.

Hunting has been a prominent motif throughout the history of meerschaum carving, in part due to the high status of those who could afford such pipes in days gone by. Animals that were commonly hunted—and, indeed animals that aided in the hunt—became symbols in various art forms, and meerschaum carving was no exception. This meerschaum, by Turkish master Kenan, takes the guise of the bear, an creature that for millennia has been both predator and prey.
