Pelikan Souverän® M1000 Maki-e Goldfish Fountain Pen - Limited Edition
Product Description
Discover timeless elegance with the Pelikan Souverän® M1000 Maki-e Goldfish Fountain Pen, a rare masterpiece that unites Pelikan's legendary German craftsmanship with the exquisite Japanese art of Maki-e lacquer painting. This limited edition writing instrument celebrates both the rich symbolism of the goldfish and the masterful Togidashi-Taka-Maki-e technique – a dual Maki-e approach that combines raised textures with a flawlessly smooth, polished finish, highlighting the depth and sophistication of Japanese lacquer artistry.
The Symbolism of the Goldfish: Rooted in centuries of Chinese and Japanese heritage, the goldfish (金魚 - Kingyo) is revered as a profound symbol of prosperity, good fortune, abundance, and elegance. Historically bred in royal courts and temples, these graceful ornamental fish have long appeared in traditional Maki-e artwork as emblems of vitality and wealth.
The Pelikan "Goldfish" Maki-e fountain pen presents a graceful and symbolic scene:
- A vivid red goldfish is meticulously depicted on the cap.
- A white goldfish with intricate detailing adorns the barrel. Each fish is intricately painted, their scales and flowing tails highlighted with subtle touches of gold to accentuate their movement and liveliness. Surrounding the goldfish are serene water-themed elements such as gently swaying seaweed and rippling waves, adding depth and tranquility to the composition. These decorative elements are brought to life with shimmering lacquer and fine gold powder.
- Signature: Each fountain pen is individually signed by the Maki-e artist, affirming its unique authenticity.
- Limited Edition: Strictly limited to just 123 pieces worldwide, making it a highly exclusive collector's item.
- Packaging: Presented in an exquisite gift box crafted from traditional Japanese Paulownia wood – a material symbolic of respect, refinement, and honor.
