The Bexley Pen Company introduces a 28-piece Limited Edition Maki-e version of its popular Poseidon fountain pen.
This pen is manufactured in the USA with a cap and barrel of black acrylic resin, and then sent to Japan where a Maki-e artist creates the dragon image.
Maki-e literally means 'sprinkled picture', a technique first developed in Japan more than 1000 years ago. A Maki-e artist uses small, soft brushes and tiny bamboo tubes to apply fine powders of gold, silver, and other alloys to create an image in lacquer.
The Bexley Maki-e Poseidon is 5-3/16" long and 5/8" in diameter, so it fits comfortably in your hand and pocket. It is equipped with Bexley's two-tone 18K gold nib, available in a fine, medium, large, or stub width. The pen fills with the supplied converter, or with international size ink cartridges.
The Maki-e Poseidon is available from authorized Bexley retailers in early November 2008.
Suggested US Retail price is $1495.00*
