Chrysanthemums

AP Limited Editions presents Chrysanthemums, a stunning Maki-e lacquer art fountain pen that embodies elegance and craftsmanship. The upper barrel showcases the Togidashimai-e technique, blending delicate shell bits with varying shades of blue urushi lacquer, while the lower barrel features the same technique using two shades of gold powder for a refined, nuanced effect. Larger chrysanthemums bloom in silver-lipped pearl oyster shell bits and white urushi lacquer, while smaller ones shimmer in gold. Fine gold lines delicately outline each petal, and the leaves come to life with gold powder and green urushi lacquer. Adding a final touch of brilliance, green and blue shell bits adorn the clip and nib section, making this exquisite creation a true collector’s piece.
