I think your stand and my Neerup were separated at birth.

Funny story about that stand. The carver was so disappointed with how it turned out, he threw it in free with the set.
My first Morta, a Moretti I posted here;
New Moretti Morta :: Italian Pipes
For quite some time I’ve wanted to get a Morta pipe, just didn’t find the look till now. A few members, without their realization helped me get the ball rolling to jump now. @Chasing Embers amazing Tulip Morta, if you don’t know it, please show that beauty again Chasing! Next, @hoosierpipeguy...

You’re very good at research. Many times you clarify things for me. Thank you ?
I've been fairly good with my PAD lately but have been thinking about adding an Askwith morta to my stable; his classic English shapes are really stunning.

This thread inspired me to whip out the Denovic for a quick bowl - C&D Savinelli 140th Anniversary blend:
More a novelty really, not as readily produced as meerschaum. I like mine but I'll likely not buy another.
I’d say Morta has a certain visual appeal.
It’s not a material that would be in the same category as Meerschaum. Meerschaum is a mineral, while Morta is oak. Several thousand year old mineralized oak, but none the less still hardwood. And it will char quite readily.

I'd say that interest in morta waxes and wanes.
Interest is always stirred up by members posting their mortas.
Lots are intrigued by a material that is thousands of years old.
There is always curiosity about how it smokes compared to briar and meerschaum.

I don't think morta is gonna take off like meer. For a few reasons. People don't rave about it the same way first off. You can't do the same intricate carvings either well not as easily.
Joe hinkle morta prince. And yes that cumberland stem has a purple-ish tint to it
Here’s some more close ups of my Moretti Morta Freehand.
I’ve only smoked maybe 5-6 bowls in it, still breaking it slowly, and smokes so cool, I really love this pipe.
I say if you’re in the market for another pipe, try out a Morta from a reputable company, maker.

My Mr. Brog bent billiard. It's not fancy, and it wasn't hundreds of dollars...but it's a big, beautiful, hunk of Morta, and it smokes sweet and smooth!
