The pipe includes a dark, reddish-brown acrylic stem with a turned decorative profile. The shank of the meerschaum is incised with the name Baglan. The item is presented in a black velvet-covered, clamshell-style case with a bright blue satin-like lining. Marked on the shank Baglan. 2 1/2" H x 9 1/2" W x 5 1/2" D.
