Pelikan M1000 Maki-e Red Infinity

Pelikan M1000 Maki-e Red Infinity

Raden is a traditional Japanese decorative craft mainly used for lacquer ware and woodwork. Working with small pieces of precious shell material, the master artist creates a unique and distinctive striped fountain pen which is impressive and a piece of art.
Each individually produced piece is crafted by hand and truly unique.
The Pelikan  fountain pen M1000 Red Infinity is made with particles from the Australian abalone shell.
The size of the abalone shell is small, and the greenish hues that are used for this precious fountain pen are particularly limited.
The first step to create the fountain pen Raden M1000 Red Infinity is to give the surface a red color impression by using the special Japanese Urushi lacquer. By carefully sprinkling silver powder, the red colored parts sparkles when turning the fountain pen in your hand. The rectangular stripes are made with particles from the precious green colored mother of pearl shell. In the next step the stripes are fixed to the cap and barrel by a coating of lacquer. Finally, the master artist individually signs and numbers each fountain pen by using the highly valued Maki-e technique.

The Raden M1000 Red 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 unique fountain pen will be available in a limited edition of 400 pieces worldwide.
