Key Characteristics & Material * Material: The bowl is meticulously hand-sculpted from block meerschaum (sepiolite), a soft white mineral primarily mined in Turkey. * Coloration: The textured beard area showcases stippled dark detailing, while the smooth captain's hat displays the classic creamy yellow patina that meerschaum naturally develops over time as it is handles and smoked. * Design Features: It depicts a classic seafaring figure with a weathered, bearded face and a prominent captain's brim hat. The bowl connects to a curved, polished black acrylic stem.
