Thread: Memory Lane (In my own language)

A Meerschaum pipe is a smoking pipe made from the mineral called sepiolite, also known as meerschaum (German for "sea foam"). It is sometimes found floating on the Black Sea and is rather suggestive of sea foam (hence the German origin of the name).

This type of pipes was very popular during the reigns of King Rama IV – VI.
