Production Process

Selecting and Preparing Raw Meerschaum

After extracting and cleaning the Meerschaum, we prepare the First-Class Block Meerschaum for processing, select it by model, and begin production with Astaş quality.

Cutting and Shaping the Stone

The raw stone is roughly cut to define the pipe's bowl and stem areas.

Sanding and Smoothing

The pipe is sanded after the motifs are completed, ensuring a smooth surface for comfort.

Attaching the Stem

The stem, made of polyester or acrylic, is attached to make the pipe functional.

Final Touches and Polishing

Finally, the pipe is polished for a glossy, durable, and aesthetically pleasing finish.

FAQ

Meerschaum is a soft white mineral, scientifically known as
sepiolite. It's primarily composed of hydrated magnesium silicate and is often
used for carving decorative pipes and other ornamental objects.

The highest quality meerschaum is primarily found in Turkey,
particularly in the Eskişehir region.

Meerschaum is popular for pipes because:

It's highly porous, which allows for a cool, dry smoke
It doesn't burn and doesn't affect the tobacco's flavor
It's easy to carve, allowing for intricate designs
It changes color over time, developing a rich patina

To care for a meerschaum pipe:

Allow the pipe to cool completely between smokes
Clean it gently with a pipe cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals
Handle it carefully, as meerschaum is soft and can scratch easily
Store it in a protective case when not in use

Yes, you can order a custom-designed meerschaum pipe. Our artisans can carve and produce a unique pipe according to your preferences. Please contact us for detailed information on custom orders.

While pipes are the most common use, meerschaum is also used
for:

Jewelry making
Decorative carvings and figurines
As a component in some cosmetics
In some industrial applications as an absorbent

Genuine meerschaum:

Is lightweight
Feels slightly waxy to the touch
Will float in water due to its porous nature
Will not melt or burn when exposed to heat

The value of meerschaum items depends on several factors:

The quality and size of the meerschaum
The intricacy of the carving
The age and condition of the piece
For pipes, the smoking history and developed patina
