TACCIA Empress Maki-e Fountain Pen - Golden Nectar (Limited Edition)
With the huge popularity of TACCIA's Empress Honeybee, this 20th anniversary fountain pen quickly sold out. In response to loyal collectors TACCIA is introducing the Empress Golden Nectar, a second version with design modifications that further enhance the beauty of this pen.
The Empress Golden Nectar pen is enhanced with exquisite orange blossoms and Shiro-Tamenuri background that depicts raw honey. The delicate flower petals in Rankaku and Hiramaji techniques and the honeybees and their fragile wings in mother of pearl are masterfully created by TACCIA's expert Maki-e artist to remind you of the fragrant springs as honeybees are abuzz collecting nectars to make their sweet golden honey.
The Empress Golden Nectar Maki-e LE pen 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.
