Nakaya Portable Cigar Ama-iro Suzuran Maki-e Fountain Pen – DIPPED

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this outstanding Nakaya Portable Cigar Ama-iro Suzuran Maki-e Fountain Pen, which comes with its wooden presentation box (including outer), pen kimono, converter and cartridges. The pen was only dipped to test and is presented in essentially as new condition.

Nakaya require no introduction and if you’ve got this far then likely you’ll be familiar with their wonderful writing instruments. This is a model that is only available directly from Nakaya and that’s if you can cope with the more than 12 month wait and if Nakaya decide to make more Ama-iro pens… this colour has been officially discontinued, but very occasionally they will make one or two. The pen is hand-turned from solid ebonite rod stock, which then has multiple layers of acquer applied, before finally being finished with natural urushi resin. To make this even more eye-catching, the barrel and cap are finished with a delightful Lily of the Valley Maki-e design.

The pen is fitted with a 14k rhodium-plated broad nib and it’s a cartridge / converter pen, so your choice here is bottled ink.

The important details are as follows…

Condition: Essentially As New 

Box: Nakaya

Nib: Broad

With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
