That actually has something closer to true lattice; the one from Meerschaumstore is what I call "false lattice." Most false lattice, like that one, just has little rounded divots, but some carve a little line around inside to give the appearance of an actual separate inner and outer layer.
That being said, I'd call that a $40-50 pipe, not $89, and most assuredly not $200. With its defects, I wouldn't buy it at all. I would go onto a site like Meerschaum Market, find exactly what you like, and buy that.
