TACCIA Empress Fountain Pen - Koi Oasis (Limited Edition)
TACCIA is proud to introduce its newest flagship design-The TACCIA Empress Limited Edition Collection. This collection not only represents their dedication to honored traditions, but also as a celebration of TACCIA's roots, founded by their matriarch. Experienced Maki-e artisans hand-laid the unique Maki-e technique, Raden and Rankaku on each hand polished ebonite barrel, that takes several months to complete. Each TACCIA Empress LE pen is fitted with a significant 18K gold "King of Pen" nib, made in Japan exclusively for TACCIA.
The Empress Koi Oasis fountain pen is enhanced with exquisite designs of Koi fish swimming with water lilies and lily pads. Rankaku (quail eggshell) and Raden (abalone shell) are used in the design, and even the clip has maki-e urushi lacquer applied.
It is fitted with an exceptional King of Pen 18K gold nib, and is limited to only 20 fountain pens worldwide. The pen fills with either a proprietary Sailor converter or Sailor ink cartridges; both are included.
Please note we are unable to accept a return of this pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use
