Block vs. Pressed Meerschaum
Pressed meerschaum is often made by combining meerschaum dust or fragments with binders to create a more uniform material. Block meerschaum, on the other hand, is carved directly from a single, natural piece—so its structure, variation, and individuality remain intact.
We use block meerschaum
Meerschaum Arts pieces are carved from natural block meerschaum—selected for its integrity, character, and the depth it gains over time. We choose it because it allows true craftsmanship to remain visible in every detail.
