LIMITED EDITION: Raden Stardust
A Universe in Your Hand : Pelikan Limited Edition Raden M1000 Stardust “Hoshikuzu”.
The Pelikan Raden Limited Edition is the breathtaking result of a meeting between two exceptional traditions: Pelikan’s German mastery of fine writing instruments, backed by over 185 years of craftsmanship and innovation, and the exquisite decorative artistry of Japan’s centuries-old techniques.
The M1000 Stardust “Hoshikuzu” is a poetic tribute to stardust scattered across a midnight sky, a vision brought to life by the renowned artist Yamazaki Mushu and his collective, “Hoshu-kai”, a revered group of Kaga maki-e masters based in Yamanaka Onsen, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Crafted using the ancient Raden technique, this masterpiece begins with a smooth coat of deep black Japanese lacquer, called Urushi, echoing the depth of the cosmos. Then, three types of finely crushed abalone shell are meticulously arranged into vertical stripes using a traditional Funzutsu (powder tube). As the light catches the surface, an iridescent shimmer dances across the pen : hues of violet, blue, green, and silver flicker like distant stars. The delicate Raden is encased in layers of clear lacquer, polished and refined over time to produce a lustrous, glassy finish. Paired with radiant 24k gold-plated accents, including a classic Pelikan clip and double cap bands, the pen exudes timeless luxury. Each M1000 Stardust is individually signed by the artist and features a limited-edition number applied with the maki-e technique. The pen is presented in an elegant paulownia wood box, reflecting the reverence and care behind its creation. We are proud to present the Pelikan Raden M1000 Stardust “Hoshikuzu”, a cosmic fusion of East and West, tradition and innovation, where every glimmering stripe tells a story of celestial wonder.

The Icon of German Craftsmanship.
M400 – The Compact Classic
The M400 is the heart of the Souverän series, maintaining the original dimensions from 1950. It is the perfect choice for writers who prefer a lighter, more agile pen or have smaller hands. Despite its compact size, it features the full technical brilliance of Pelikan: a high-quality 14k bicolor gold nib and the famous differential piston mechanism. Ideal for long writing sessions where comfort and effortless control are paramount.
M600 – The Perfect All-Rounder
Slightly larger and more substantial than the M400, the M600 strikes the perfect balance for the average hand. It offers more presence on the paper without being overly heavy. The 14k gold nib is refined with rhodium decor and provides a smooth, reliable flow. This model is often considered the "sweet spot" of the collection—large enough to feel premium, yet light enough for daily use in any professional setting.
M800 – The Modern Legend
The M800 is a true heavyweight in the world of fine writing. It was the first Souverän model to feature brass internal components, giving it a commanding, balanced feel. Equipped with a large, sophisticated 18k bicolor gold nib, it offers a firmer and more authoritative writing experience. This is the ultimate tool for those who appreciate a bold, oversized pen that makes a statement of excellence and stability.
M1000 – The Majestic Masterpiece
The M1000 is Pelikan’s largest and most powerful fountain pen. It is famous among enthusiasts for its extraordinary No. 10 oversized 18k gold nib, which is exceptionally soft and expressive. The sheer size and the unique "bounce" of the nib provide a writing experience that is closer to a brush than a standard pen. A majestic instrument designed for those who seek the pinnacle of luxury and the most expressive stroke possible.
