The Bottegando Snake & Frog Maki-e Fountain Pen is a luxurious writing instrument that is designed to showcase the ancient Japanese art of Maki-e. This pen is handcrafted by skilled artisans using high-quality materials, making it a true work of art. The pen features intricate details and a stunning design, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate beauty and sophistication.
The pen features a black resin barrel that is decorated with a stunning image of a snake and a frog, which is created using the traditional Japanese Maki-e technique. Maki-e art is a traditional Japanese lacquerware technique that involves sprinkling gold or silver powder onto wet lacquer to create intricate designs. A snake and frog scene depicted using this technique is a stunning example of the art form. The artwork showcases a beautifully detailed scene of a snake and a frog in a natural setting, perhaps in a garden or near a pond. The gold or silver powder sprinkled onto the lacquer adds depth and texture to the design, making the snake and frog appear almost lifelike. Maki-e art is a highly skilled and time-consuming process that has been used for centuries to create breathtaking works of art.
The fountain pen nib is made from 14-karat solid gold and is available in a medium size. The nib provides a smooth and precise writing experience, making it ideal for both everyday use and special occasions. The pen also features an ink converter that allows you to use your favorite bottled ink, providing a customizable writing experience.
The pen is packaged in a beautiful gift box, making it a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates art and writing. The pen also comes with a certificate of authenticity, which ensures that you are getting a genuine Bottegando product.
