Bölge
Yakın Çevre: Sultanahmet
Tümü antik Bizans hipodromu alanının etrafında bulunan, kaçırılmayacak kadar güzel ve kısa bir yürüyüş mesafesinde birbirine yakın pek çok gezilecek yere sahip Sultanahmet son derece popüler, turistik bir destinasyon ve ziyaretçileri kendine hayran bırakacak önemli bir noktadır. Sultan Ahmet Camii, Ayasofya, Topkapı Sarayı gibi harikaların yanı sıra, İstanbul’un nispeten küçük olan bu bölgesi huzur ve sükunet atmosferini korumayı bir şekilde başarmakta ve ziyaretçilere büyük ölçüde daha az tanınan ama hoş yollar ve yan sokaklardan oluşan güzel bir dünya, görkemli Boğaz manzaraları ve konaklama tesisi olarak bütçeye ve zevke uygun çok çeşitli, etkileyici seçenekler sunmaktadır.

I was looking for a hand-carved meerschaum pipe for a friend at home who is a collector. Other reviews here inspired me to search for this shop. I'm very glad that I did. The elder Mr. Donmez has retired, but his son still runs the store as a gift shop, now called "Meerschaum Art." He carries all kinds of gifts, as well as the remaining stock of pipes carved by his father. My husband and I took our time looking through them and had an interesting conversation with the younger Mr. Donmez, who told us about his father's career and about the history of the store and the Arasta Bazaar, which was originally a horse stable in Ottoman times. Had a nice time and chose a lovely pipe for my friend.

Il negozio ha solo gli ultimi pezzi rimanenti, ora vende altro. Il titolare è disponibile e gentile.

This shop specializes in meerschaum pipes carved by Bulent Donmez, master craftsman who is son of Bilal Donmez, a now-retired master carver. They are from Eskesheir, the city in northwest Anatolia in where meerschaum is mined. The Arasta Carsisi, or Arasta Bazaar, is behind the Blue Mosque in Sultanahmet area; it is quite separate from the Grand Bazaar in which cheaper meerschaum pipes can be found. If you want the lineage of a pipe from a master, this is the place. Very helpful staff. Also other high-quality Turkish handicrafts. Finding the shop will introduce you to a section of Istanbul not frequently visited by the hordes of tourists.

I had read a bit about this shop in the Arasta Bazaar page, it's mentioned in passing but never by name. My dad has a few meerschaum pipes that he ordered from Turkey by mail in the 70s, so I was looking for a shop where I wouldn't get a hard sell and I felt I could trust the salespeople. The grand bazaar was out, to me it's too overwhelming and I feel that I'll just be told what I want to hear, so I stopped by Meerschaum Pipes in Arasta Bazaar. I'd been in Istanbul a few months before and must have walked right by without noticing.
In the shop I met Bulent, the artist's son, and chatted for a bit about business, the hard summer in Istanbul for tourism, and the pipes they have on display. I'd never had so much time and space to look at meerschaum without feeling rushed or pushed to buy something (again, not possible in the Grand Bazaar). They have all the standards, sultans heads, animals, and intricate designs. I fell in love with a lattice pipe but needed a couple days to think about it. Bulent set it aside and assured me he'd tell his father to expect me if he wasn't in the shop when I came back.
A couple days later I stopped back in and had a last look around, making sure I had just the right one. The entire process was painless and easy, I found Bulent personable and enjoyed what he shared about the history of the business and the process, he even explained to me all of the cleaning and care requirements and gave me a replacement connector in case the current plastic piece between the pipe and mouthpiece wears out. When I got home and showed people I had to (predictably) explain what meerschaum is, but everyone has been impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail.
If you're in Istanbul and looking for a meerschaum pipe, or simply want to see some wonderful local craftsmanship definitely stop into Meerschaum Pipes. It is an incredible find in one of my favorite parts of the city. Happy shopping!

Hi. Need help in finding a meerschaum pipe maker to send my pipe to. It needs to have a new bowl made for my Calabash pipe. Preferably in Turkey. But open to your suggestions.
