Nishikigoi hand-painted fountain pen
ZAR8,500.00
This fountain pen, Nishikigoi (koi is a shortened version of this full name in Japanese) has been many months in the making. Kseniia has created an artwork with a burnished gold background, stylised koi in colours of saffron, salmon pink and pale yellow, with scales that shimmer like diamond dots, swimming in amongst waves that are reminiscent of Hokusai’s famous blockprint, The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. She has even painted a miniature wave on the bottom of the barrel.
Lana le Roux mixed a custom burnt orange colour resin for the section material and we have added a bronze cap band, section ring and logo in the finial.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is an original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.
Nib:
Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.
The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
