Collection: Pelikan Limited Editions - Maki-E

Each of these valuable fountain pens is a piece of art, masterfully crafted by use of the Maki-e technique. All Pelikan Maki-e fountain pens are handmade, unique pieces created to last. The number of pens is strictly limited.

Maki-e is a traditional Japanese craft passed down from generation to generation. When translated, the name of the technique means “sprinkled picture”, a meaning derived from the fine gold and silver dust and, occasionally, also the dust of shaved precious stones sprinkled across the fountain pen. By using specially prepared Urushi lacquer acquired from the sap of the East Asian lacquer tree and finely ground precious metals, intricate motifs are created in an extremely laborious, time-consuming process. The coveted Maki-e unique collection is pure luxury.
