Pelikan Souverän M1000 Raden Red Infinity Limited Edition Fountain Pen
This pen is pre-owned, but never inked or dipped. It’s like buying it brand new. It has a Medium nib and comes complete with stamped box and papers. The only difference between this and a brand new one is the price.
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 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.
The 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.
Pelikan is pleased and proud to offer this new Limited Edition Raden series, which combines the wonderful Japanese decorative craftsmanship to fountain pen models of its famous Pelikan Souveraen series.
The Raden M1000 Red Infinity fountain pens are pieces of delicate art with finely-chased 18 carat gold nibs in the size M, all accentuated with a yellow gold décor. Each fountain pen is presented in a traditional Japanese gift box which is made of Paulownia wood.
The Raden M1000 Red Infinity will be a limited edition of 400 pieces worldwide.
