PELIKAN
LIMITED
EDITION DRAGON
& PHOENIX MAKI-E
FOUNTAIN
PEN
Breathtakingly
beautiful: the masterly creation of the Japanese artist Musyu, a plunger
fountain pen ornamented in the most elaborate maki-e technique, is a joy
for all the senses. Far-Eastern allure and absolute top quality come
together here in a rare collectors' piece that is in a class of its own.
In every facet of this work of art the skill of designing exquisite
writing instruments is melded with the perfection of Japanese lacquer
painting like that which already adorns the 2001 Four Seasons series of
writing instruments, the Genji fountain pen set and the Health &
Wealth Set.
The
dragon and the phoenix are the most important figures in Chinese mythology.
The dragon is a well-disposed creature which uses its magic powers
benevolently, while the Phoenix symbolises peace and wealth. The combination
of the two is fascinatingly reflected in the interplay between technical
perfection and a centuries-old craft.
Based
on the Souveran 1000, this fountain pen incorporates state-of-the-art
technology. The solid brass components give this exclusive collectors' piece
durability and writing comfort to meet the most exacting requirements. The
clip and fittings are gold-plated, the 18-carat gold nib with its platinum
ornamentation is made with meticulous craftsmanship and written in by hand.
The
cap, barrel and filling knob are also enhanced by the most elaborate maki-e
technique, as are the Pelikan logo, its filigree lines worked into the
surface by the artistan's own hand, the series number borne by each one of
this limited edition, and Musyu's signature.
This
outstanding highlight among collectors' pieces is presented in a wooden case
of great beauty made from paulownia wood by traditional Japanese methods,
and is supplied with a booklet and certificate.
The
edition being limited to only 88 copies worldwide . The maki-e Dragon and
Phoenix is an unparalleled rarity for collectors and lovers of the Far
Eastern art of writing.
