Pelikan Limited Edition Souverän M1000 Raden Black Infinity fountain pen

The limited edition M1000 Raden Black Infinity is an absolute
breathtaking masterpiece of Japanese artistry.

The master artist has created an outstanding piece of art using the traditional
Raden technique. For the M1000 Raden Black Infinity, sections
of shells selected from the colorful abalone green colored
mother of pearl shell were smoothed and cut into rectangular
shapes by hand. The first step is to paint the surface of the
fountain pen in black by using urushi lacquer. In the next step
the stripes are fixed to the cap and barrel by a coating of lacquer.
Several coats of paint are applied, each of them must dry and
harden completely before the next coating is applied. Between
the finishing steps, the lacquered surface of the fountain pen
is polished repeatedly. A subtle silver sparkle can be seen
on the black urushi lacquer. This effect is achieved by sprinkling
fine sterling-silver powder. Finally, the master artist individually
signs and numbers each fountain pen by using Maki-e
technique.
This edition is the successor to the coveted M1000 Red Infinity.
The motif is reminiscent of a chessboard pattern and has
no beginning or end on the round body of the fountain pen,
hence the name Infinity. It is a lucky design that stands for
long-lasting family happiness, prosperity, positive development,
and professional success.

The basis for this wonderful edition is the Souverän M1000,
Pelikan‘s largest fountain pen model, which is manufactured
with great attention to detail near Hannover in Germany and
afterwards refined in Japan. Each individual piece is made
by hand and is truly unique.
The M1000 Raden Black Infinity fountain pen is a piece of art
with a finely chased 18 carat gold nib in the size M with a
rhodium decor. Each fountain pen is equipped with a piston
mechanism and is offered in a traditional Japanese gift box
which is made of Paulownia wood. This unique Limited Edition
will be available in October 2024 in a limited edition of
only 400 pieces worldwide.
