Lot 614: A 19th-century carved meerschaum figural tobacco pipe in a fitted case
A 19th-century tobacco pipe featuring a meerschaum bowl and shank carved in high relief with a figural scene depicting several figures and cherubs. The meerschaum exhibits a warm cream colour with natural darkening and patina within the recessed areas of the carving. The pipe is fitted with a translucent orange and yellow mouthpiece, likely crafted from amber or an early synthetic substitute. The object is presented in its original form-fitted hard-shell case, which has a dark leather-covered exterior and is lined with a red velvet-like fabric.
