Taccia Empress Fountain Pen - Chinkin Owl - Limited Edition.
This beautifully detailed owl design was created using the Chinkin technique, in which the design is carefully carved into an urushi-lacquered surface; precious metal powders are then rubbed into the grooves to illuminate the drawing. On the large King of Pen–size ebonite barrel, the intricate carving of each feather and flower shines. Created to celebrate Taccia's 20th anniversary, Empress Chinkin Owl is limited to 20 pens worldwide.
The fountain pens in Taccia's Empress Collection pair Taccia's oversized Empress body with a Sailor King of Pen (KOP) 18k gold nib. These pens often feature the Rankaku and Raden Maki-e techniques (the inlaying of quail eggshells and abalone shells) combined with expert application of urushi lacquer to create stunning and unique works of art.
Each fountain pen is made by hand in Taccia's urushi studio on Wajima, Japan, using traditional inlay techniques enhanced with precious metals and lacquer. To blend the old with the new, each fountain pen comes fitted with an 18k gold nib made by Sailor in Japan along with an individually polished, lightweight yet durable ebonite barrel. The cushion snap cap closure allows for an airtight seal that prevents the pen from drying out. Each series is limited and signed by the maki-e artisan who created it, truly emphasizing the tradition of craftsmanship.
