[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 447371, member: 2244"] You can't CAST block meerschaum, which is what just about ALL the figure carved meers are made of. You can cast PRESSED Meerschaum, but you normally don't get the solid smooth toned white as you do with block meerschaum. Labour costs over in Turkey is not what it is here and most of the carvers work for less over there than what they might earn if working here. There are a few famous carvers whose work bring primo prices though and they are absolutely phenominal artists !! I have 4 meers, and all are carved figures which for me, define a meer pipe !
