Pelikan M1000 Fountain Pen - Raden Black Infinity (Limited Edition)
Raden is a traditional Japanese decorative craft. Working with small pieces of precious shell material, the master artist creates a unique and distinctive striped fountain pen which is an impressive piece of art. Each individually produced piece is crafted by hand and is truly unique. Pelikan applies this wonderful Japanese decorative craft to the technical base of its famous Souverän fountain pen in the size M1000. The design pattern has no beginning and no end and stands for continuity which is a lucky design that implies long family happiness, prosperity, development, and professional success.
To make the M1000 Black Infinity, colorful abalone green colored mother of pearl shells are cut into rectangular shapes by hand and finished with several coats of lacquer which must dry and harden completely before the next coating is applied. The lacquered surface of the fountain pen is polished repeatedly. The first step to create the fountain pen Raden M1000 Black Infinity is to paint the surface of the fountain pen in black by using urushi lacquer. In the next step, the stripes are fixed to the cap and barrel by a coating of lacquer. Several coats of paint are applied, and each must dry and harden completely, before another coat is applied. The pen is also polished repeatedly. A subtle silver sparkle can be been on the black urushi lacquer. Finally, the master artist individually signs and numbers each fountain pen by using the highly valued Maki-e technique.
The Raden M1000 Black Infinity fountain pen is a piece of art with a finely chased 18 carat gold nib in the size M. Each fountain pen comes in a traditional Japanese gift box which is made of Paulownia wood. This is a limited edition of 400 pieces worldwide, and each pen is numbered out of 400.
