TheCollection
392 one-of-a-kind pieces, carved by hand in Eskişehir and documented in 2,712 unretouched photographs. Collections are grouped by how the stone is worked rather than by price.
Signature Forms
The shapes a pipe maker returns to. Classic bowls, freehand growth, basket weave and calabash — where the material leads and ornament stays quiet.
Sculptural
Relief carving in the round. Claws, beasts and creatures cut deep into the block, where the bowl becomes the body of the thing.
Portrait & Figure
The human face and form. Bearded sultans, knights, seafarers and reclining figures, carved by hand in white earth.
Ornamental & Symbolic
Pattern and meaning. Vine, tulip and leaf work, lattice cut through to the light, and the compasses and square of the lodge.
Holders & Objects
Smaller work from the same block and the same hands. Cigarette and cigar holders carved with the detail of a full pipe.
