Namiki Emperor Vermillion Urushi Lacquer Fountain Pen

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this legendary Namiki Emperor (Rings) Vermillion Urushi Lacquer Fountain Pen, which comes with its wooden presentation box (including outer), bottle of ink and eyedropper. The pen has barely been used and is presented in fantastic condition.

Namiki require no introduction and if you’ve got this far then likely you’ll be familiar with their wonderful writing instruments. The Emperor, as the name suggests, is an imposing oversized pen (this is the version with cap rings) and it’s absolutely glorious – this version is finished in Vermillion and the pen is crafted from ebonite, which then has multiple layers of red urushi lacquer applied. The final stage utilises a technique called Roiro Urushi Siage, to give the pen its lustrous, deep finish.

The pen is fitted with a huge #50 18k broad nib and it’s an eye-dropper, so your choice here is bottled ink.

The important details are as follows…

Condition: Fantastic 

Box: Namiki

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”.
