TACCIA Empress Chinkin Fountain Pen - Owl (Limited Edition)
To Celebrate TACCIA's 20th Anniversary, TACCIA has designed the Empress Chinkin Owl, crafted by a renowned Japanese Chinkin maki-e artist. This pen is masterfully carved to accentuate the many feathers of the Owl and highlights the beauty of the Chinkin technique.
Only 20 pens have been made, each one fitted with an exceptional 18k gold “King of Pen” nib. Made in Japan exclusively for TACCIA.
The airtight cushion seal cap allows for a snug closure. Each limited edition fountain pen is individually numbered out of 20, and is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. It comes packaged in a wooden gift box and comes with a cloth pen wrap. The pen fills with either a proprietary Sailor converter or Sailor ink cartridges; both are included.
