The immense garden itself required a sophisticated system to irrigate them with water from the Euphrates.The Hanging Gardens combined an aesthetic natural beauty and new sophisticated technology making this a true masterpiece. Inspired by this, the Pelikan fountain pen combines the utmost precision in manufacturing with traditional craftsmanship and artistic as well as technical skill. This distinctive writing instrument pays tribute and reflects this architectural wonder by incorporating a representation of the front of two steps of the ancient terraced structure.

In the fourth century BC, the Babylonian priest Berossos is believed to have first described the gardens, based upon Babylonian documentation. His work has been lost, but chroniclers from the second century BC quoted from it and kept alive the knowledge of the magnificent gardens. This grand form of garden construction art would most likely have given the observer the impression of a hanging park and behind it all was a highly-developed level of technical understanding. It is probable that the walls and columns of the supporting structure were predominantly made of baked bricks and that there were passageways beneath the individual terraces. The substructure of each individual terrace is believed to have been fitted with pipes, natural asphalt, bricks and lead sheeting, so that water could not trickle down.

During Rik's visit, the team at Conway Stewart showed him the factory and walked him through the process of how their pens were made in Devon, England. Apart from the nib, every component of their pens is made in-house, including their clips and even screws. One of the many meetings with Rik included a visit from Conway Stewart's enameller and designer, Robert Glover, who brought with him several ideas for new enamel designs.

This oversize black and white piece evokes images of gently falling snow against the night sky in the mountains of China. We chose to use the traditional technique called “rankaku” (eggshell inlay) for artistic expression. Small bits of eggshells are placed on design is drawn on the pen body. The soft, warm effect of eggshell and its pure white color, impossible to produce in lacquer was prized in the old days. The egg-shell pieces are embedded in lacquer, then exposed again by polishing to achieve the image of gently falling snow against the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdea\/Concept: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first idea of the SNOW pen dated back one and a half years ago. At the beginning prototype stage of the Golden Mai (Rice) pen development, we thought of making a Urushi lacquer pen minimal colors, simply a Black and White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMemory of my first encounter of snow was still fresh and vivid, although I was merely a kid at the time. I was with my grandmother in China then. Being from the south, I have never seen the beauty of snow. From the window of our village home, viewing afar, snowflakes danced in hordes with various rhythm. The visual was almost like Jackson Pollack’s painting. Yet, up close, they looked more scattered and softer. I could almost see the different patterns and shapes of each snow flakes. The beauty of nature and the beautiful visual burned in my young mind. This memory formed the base of visual concept for the SNOW pen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince natural Urushi lacquer does not traditionally come in white color we have decided to follow the centuries old traditions, using off-white color eggshells to achieve the soft white color effect. Hence, snowflakes would be represented by small bits of white eggshells on a black background. After many sketches, this Black and White Urushi lacquer pen begun to take shape. The challenge is to find a way to utilize this special lacquering technique to create the desired impressionistic and poetic picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany months and close to hundred of sketches later, we’d decided on the present design solution.In the final design, we have divided the pen body into three different stages timeand space. The cap button and the cap became the stage for the sky (and the future) with heavy concentration of snow. Snowflakes are in various shapes and sizes, dancing their own dances with their \u0026gt;own concerto of music, with the promise that more of the beauty would come. Asthe flakes flowed down to the tip of the cap and the barrel, the stage changed to earth and the present. The flakes became sparse and of similar sizes and shapes, floating in all directions, teasing and daring the people to touch and dance with them. Then, at the end, they gathered again on the ground (the barrel button). Snow only existed briefly, then it would bind with the earth and change its physical entity forever. Time became the past. The design of the snow pen is now complete. The sky, people and the earth it is quite a nature’s concept as our early project — the Golden Mai (Rice) pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SNOW or the Golden Mai pen would not be complete, without the people nurturing and holding them in his or her hands. Ah! The concept then is finally completed. The theme tied the nature — sky, earth, us — human lives in the middle, above the ground, beneath the air through time and space. This is my true conceptual thought and it is why I continue to make pens instead of expressing my thoughts through paintings or drawings. Up to this day, I still hold, use, draw with, admire and long for … my hand … your hand with the art object — pen, to form the total artistic statement. We, human our relationships with the object together is to create the soul of the statement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost pen collectors are quite aware of the Urushi lacquering technique more or less by now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless the lacquering technician\/master-craftsman\/artist (which I’ll call artist from now on) from Japan, China, Vietnam, France, Spain, or wherever else; this art demands patience, discipline expertise.A true artist would have their own quality judgment in terms of skill, level of refinement and discipline to execute such fine works, time and time again. I have worked with individuals who are quite skillful, yet lacking in discipline of keeping delivering timing and the consistency of quality are just not there. This lack of discipline and consistency in quality could turn out to be quite disastrous at the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the SNOW, the first step is to prepare the all\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e ebonite Qian Long pen bodies for the application of Urushi lacquer. This requires sanding, cleaning (may be priming) to turn the ebonite pen bodies to their ultimate condition to bind with Urushi lacquer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finest grade Urushi lacquer from Japan is being used in all process. The artist decided a time would be appropriate to maintain the quality. The next step is to apply eggshells on the pen body. The Rankaku (eggshell inlay) technique could be applied in various ways. The artist preferred to use cleaned and dried bits of eggshells to glue on the pen body, one piece at a time. Urushi lacquer is used to glue the eggshells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen bodies then were put to a Urushi bath with slow revolving mechanism to prevent dripping. 80% humidity and controlled temperature are needed for Urushi to sweat and harden. The bath would take a few days. Then a thin layer of black Urushi lacquer would apply in-between eggshells. The pen body then would be put to a Urushi bath again to \"dry\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same process would be repeated over 20 times, so the gaps between eggshells were filled. At the end, layers of Urushi lacquer would be put on the whole pen, covering the eggshells as well. Yet, there are three parts of the pen should be void of Urushi. They are the cap ring area, barrel ring area and the thread section of the barrel. If Urushi was applied accidentally, the artist must take care of the problem by wiping it off right away. Otherwise, the ring section would not fit the ring later. With the many pen parts of our Qian Long body: top cap button, cap, front end, barrel, and barrel button, according to the crafts-master, our Qian Long pen bodies cost them at least 30% more work to get it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the pen bodies were dried and resembled an overweight version of the Qian Long pen, polishing specialist would be called to hand polish the Urushi laden pens. 5 to 10 times of rough polishing are needed to reveal the eggshells underneath. In between polishing, holes and imperfections were filled\/removed carefully until the pen look smooth on the surface. By now, several months work have been put in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar process would take place for intermediate polishing, except a finer polishing agent was used. After another 5 to 6 times of intermediate polishing, the pen body became very smooth with dull black color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish polishing then took place, with a mixture of fine powder and oil. Extremely thin layers of Urushi would apply after each finish polishing in a dust free environment. It is vital not to have dirt and dust on the pen from this stage onward. No part in the pen should be touched by hand at this point. The whole pen would let dry for five to six days. The artist would buff the pen parts with his palm since any other material would be too rough. This procedure would be repeated until the pen showed a slight glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the final stage, after final polish with a mixture of extremely fine powder and oil, the pen would then be cleaned and a last final coat of clear Urushi would apply. The pen then would be put aside to let thoroughly dried, it would be hand-buffed with the artist’s palm until the pen showed a brilliant glow. The whole pen took approximately 37 steps from preparation to finish. This lacquering business depends a lot on nature, quality of lacquer, expertise and most of all, patience and discipline.No one can afford frustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s say the first five pen bodieswere completed in 4 to 5 months time, then we would send the parts to our pen maker in France to assemble, with the BOCK #8 nib from Germany, large ebonite feeder from Microtech in France. The pen studio also provided us with heavy gold plated rings to hold the cap and the barrel and put in the ink pump system. This procedure would usually take 5 days to complete. Therefore, total turn around time for each SNOW 5 months or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, the technical difficulties of SNOW lies on: the even application of each bit of eggshells, matching thecurve shape of the cap, barrel and buttons; even application of Urushi in between eggshells while maintaining the shape of the pen; and the most crucial part — sufficiently polishing to reveal the eggshells. Too much polishing would remove the eggshells, while not enough polishing would retain small particles of dried Urushi on of the soft white eggshells.\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the pen looks simple, it is composed of many pieces of eggshells. Sometimes simplicity is the most difficult since there no room to hide any mistakes. The artistic statement relied on the unification of 5 new parts together. While each part is different; its own individual technical difficulties; yet at the same they share a certain likeness, a certain unity when pieced together. Meanwhile, for the Maki-e pens, the painting on the pen is so striking that demand all attention from the viewers, the wholeness of the SNOW re-stage the beauty and serenity of mother nature.It is not my intention to say one is technically more challenging than the other, such as my Erotica series, or the Door Gods, I am merely stressing individualchallenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI always hesitate to talk about technical aspects and difficulties Urushi technique. By showing the SNOW pen with photos and writing about the production process this way, I hope to present a clear understanding of the hand lacquering technique to the public.\u003cbr\u003eUp to this point, one noticed that I had not mentioned the jade clip production. I omitted this part in purpose. Jade crafting is another very specialized field, and to apply jade crafting to a pen was a totally new adventure to me and in today’s pen making.

The use of Jacquard punch cards, chains and subassemblies, and the logical structure of the modern computer all developed from the work of Babbage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBabbage was born in London on December 26, 1791, the son of Benjamin Babbage, a London banker and grandson to Benjamin Babbage, who was the Mayor of Totnes, Devon in 1754. Although Babbage was born in London, he's regarded as a Devonian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn the son of a Banker, Babbage followed the typical path of a Victorian era \"thinking gentleman\", entering Trinity College, Cambridge in 1810, and receiving his MA in 1817. Babbage occupied the Lucasian chair of mathematics at Cambridge from 1828 to 1839 and was the founder of several Victorian era societies and associations, the most famous of which included the Analytical Society in 1820, and the Statistical Society of London in 1834. Babbage was considered to be one of England's pre-eminent intellectuals in an era replete with brilliant minds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBabbage was known as a lover of the created object, finding great beauty in things manufactured by man, stamped buttons, stomach pumps, railways and tunnels, all man's mastery over nature. This love for intricate creation can be seen in his designs. His Difference Engine, a device for calculating and printing mathematical tables by machine consisted of two tons of brass, hand-fitted steel, and pewter clockwork. Babbage seemed to go against what was described as the era's \"growing divorce between academic science and engineering practice.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBabbage loved practical science and was among the first to apply higher mathematics to commercial and industrial problems. Babbage, along with his draftsmen, conducted pioneering work in the field of precision engineering. Since the conventional mechanical drawing used at the time proved inadequate for his engines, he developed his own abstract notation. He called this work with mechanical notation \"one of the most important additions I have made to human knowledge\". With the die-cast pewter gear wheels of his Difference Engine, and with his design of lathes and tool-shapers, Babbage had a huge influence on the British machine tool industry. The foreman in Babbage's shop, Sir Joseph Whitworth was responsible for the introduction of the first series of standard screw threads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to his great love for the mechanical, Babbage was enthralled with the field of statistics, and made great study of statistics of all sorts, everything from his \"Table of Constants of the Class Mammalia\" measuring such constants as the heartbeat of a pig, to an attempt to mathematically handicap horse races (at which he was notable unsuccessful).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite his great contributions to many fields of study in Victorian England, Babbage was not a universally popular figure in his lifetime, being held in great disrespect by the general public in London. This was due in large part to the popular belief that he had been supported in his research by large grants from the government during a time when the ever-growing industrial revolution was creating a large underclass of poor and disposed. Babbage was widely known to have hated \"street musicians\", and one way in which the public vented their displeasure with his was by ensuring that he never lacked for the attention of an unending parade of fiddlers, Punch-and-Judy shows, and the like. Some neighbours hired musicians to play outside his windows, while others annoyed him with worn-out or out-of-tune wind instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite his lack of public popularity, Babbage was a great mind, and although never fully developed, his work with digital computing devices was revolutionary. As a prominent Victorian, his place in history is assured. Babbage died in 1871, and is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery in London.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985, the Science Museum in London began construction of the Difference Engine No. 2 using Babbage's original designs of his work during 1846 to 1848. It took six years to build the calculating device, just in time for the bicentennial of Babbage's birth. The device consists of 4000 parts and weighs over three metric tons. Its first calculation at the London Science Museum returned results to 31 digits, far more than the average modern pocket calculator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Conway Stewart Babbage edition is a spectacular celebration of the life and work of Charles Babbage. With a simple and straightforward cylindrical cap and barrel, the Babbage pays homage to the underlying structure of Babbage's work. Both the cap and barrel are covered in an intricate pattern of engine turned engraving in a concentric circular pattern. The result is at once simple and complex, a perfect reflection on the work of Charles Babbage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Conway Stewart Babbage edition rollerball pen is an eminently practical choice for today's lovers of fine writing instruments. At 60 gms weight, 17.2cm long (cap posted) and 1.1cm diameter, the Babbage rollerball fits nicely in the hands whether it be for a short note, or a long handwritten letter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRollerball pens offer the luxurious feel of the fountain pen's liquid ink combined with the rugged practicality of the ball-point pen. The Babbage is also designed as a clipless pen, intended to be carried in a briefcase, organiser or handbag, and sized to fit the pen loops built into these. In keeping with the life of Charles Babbage, practicality and attention to detail form the pre-eminent aspects of this design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe packaging has been designed to house your writing instrument and serve as a showcase pen stand for the desk. The display box is crafted of luxurious full-grain leather in rich black color.

The number is 1,618 and it corresponds to what is considered a “particularly aesthetic ratio.” This ratio occurs repeatedly in nature and in fact it defines the “ideal relation,” an arithmetic measure which is enjoyable for the eye, called also “golden mean proportion” or “golden section.” Below are pictures of the pen which also has twice as much silver as the original divine proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout getting into great depth we can say that this number, also called phi, is as well used to trace different circles divided through ten – called decagons – or through five – i.e. pentagons, called pentagrams or pentacles too. The empiric discovering of the golden ration “comes from the most remote ancient times, from the prehistoric era”. We presume that our ancestors learned very soon how to trace and divide circles; they of course privileged the division of circles through five, because of the five fingers of the human hand. These are in fact “obvious” numbers indeed they lead to the natural calculation of some special proportions. However, only the Greeks, first of all Euclid, originally theorized these calculations. Before him Pythagoras – or at least his disciples – tried to disclose their mystery. Inside their sect, that was protected by the most absolute secret, the golden number was associated to the sacred, particularly to the five-pointed star – a symbol of life, beauty and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pentacle is commonly thought to be the symbol through which the Pythagoreans recognized each other, but it came into our tradition throughout the centuries as a talisman of good health: we find it on some ancient coins and on several gothic cathedrals and churches. Also Plato recognized that the golden number had a privileged role in the explanation of the universe. During the XII century, Fibonacci, also Called Leonardo da Pisa, mathematician, merchant and great traveller got in touch with this scientific discipline in the Middle East, developing the famous “Fibonacci sequences”. For the architects and painters of the Middle Ages the pentagon became the symbol of the “Quintessence”, literally said “the fifth element”, i.e. absolute perfection, ideal beauty. The pentacles and circles traced with the compass were kept absolutely secret among the corporations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1509 Leonardo Da Vinci illustrates De divina proportione, the work of a Franciscan mathematician, Luca Pacioli. This book with pictures by Da Vinci had a great success, as it was the written version of an ancient oral tradition. It was revealing a mystery. Today we know that the divine proportion is present in architecture (Le Corbusier frequently used it), in painting, in music, in the structure of some poems, but also in nature, in many plants and animals (many flowers have five petals, some leaves are placed on stems according to the phi ratio, which is present also in the starfish and the sea urchin). The divine proportion seems also to rule the human body: the navel, for example, divides the body according to the golden number. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Visconti Divine Proportions (Divina Proporzione) Limited Edition Fountain Pen features a beautiful briarwood presentation box.

Previously-released pens in the series have honoured La Traviata and Il Barbiere di Siviglia. The third to be celebrated by Montegrappa is Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto, an opera in three acts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst performed at the famous La Fenice opera house in Venice on 11 March 1851, Rigoletto reached its debut despite initial problems with the Austrian censors who had control over northern Italian theatres at the time. The premiere was a triumph, regardless of any controversy, and is considered by many to be the first of the masterpieces of Verdi's middle-to-late career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn immediate success, Rigoletto enjoyed the equivalent of a 'smash hit\" , as the Duke's cynical aria, \"La donna Š mobile\" was sung in the streets the next morning. A great box-office success for La Fenice, it was Verdi's first major Italian triumph since the 1847 premiere of Macbeth in Florence. Rigoletto's initial run of 13 performances was revived in Venice the following year, and again in 1854.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRigoletto now features in all lists of great operas, a staple of the operatic repertoire.

The body and the all-red cap are made of resin, the body itself requiring the use of the diffusion bonding technique to create its mosaic effect. All trims are made of solid silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA handmade black and red glass \"murrina” on top of the red cap was inspired by the puffy sleeves and pantaloons that comprise a harlequin's garb, while the pocket clip is d in the manner of the jester's footwear.

The second, or middle, compartment represents the present from which we look backward into the past: the first compartment proceeds upward from the nib by means of memory. After incorporating the past into the present through memory, we then project into the future, shown as the third compartment farthest up from the nib, via our imagination, which is closely allied with memory, as first noted by Aristotle. Only humans can integrate these three dimensions of time to process the long-term future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing this visual representation of memory is the pen's cap, its seven lower rings representing the average maximum number of items that can be stored in memory at one time. Above that are five thinner rings to denote the five basic senses upon which all memories are created. The brushed steel columns, running vertically within the seven lower rings, are arranged to symbolize the bidirectional flow of information for memory creation or recall. In contrast, an engraved metal pattern on the barrel and cap illustrates the neural network – the basis of memory creation and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaped in the form of a seahorse, the pocket clip represents the hippocampus and the amygdala, two structures important in the initial stages of memory formation, with brushed steel to show the communication between these parts of the brain. A seahorse is also etched on the nib, just like the Brain Pen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Memory Pen is limited to 300 examples, each of which is a fountain pen and a rollerball in sterling silver, to represent the P300 electrical wave produced by the brain, which effectively correlates with memory abilities and intelligence.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo convey the magnificence of memory in all of its power and capability, the Memory Pen arrives in packaging as inspiring as its contents.

This allows the owner to appreciate the nuances of the \"program\" that stores all the thoughts that are so precious to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn and of itself, Montegrappa hopes that the Memory Pen will forever test its owner's powers of recollection, so densely packed is its surface with details inspired by the study of memory and the understanding of how one's memory operates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials: resin, sterling silver\u003cbr\u003eNib: 18K gold Fine grade nib \u003cbr\u003eFountain pen filling systems: converter, cartridge \u003cbr\u003eLaunched in 2013 and is a SOLD OUT edition\u003cbr\u003eEdition size 300\u003cbr\u003eBrand new item, never been used.\u003cbr\u003eIt is housed in the special Montegrappa Memory Limited Edition gift packaging with warranty booklet.\u003cbr\u003eSKU: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISPMNRSE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Montegrappa","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":45109102837950,"sku":"ISPMNRSE","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/7564\/2046\/files\/leadermemory_fountain_1.jpg?v=1723433714"},{"product_id":"montegrappa-memory-limited-edition-rollerball-2017","title":"Montegrappa Memory Limited Edition Rollerball ISPMNRSE, 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eMontegrappa's most cerebral creation, The Brain Pen, challenged the company's designers in a way none had before.

The second, or middle, compartment represents the present from which we look backward into the past: the first compartment proceeds upward from the nib by means of memory. After incorporating the past into the present through memory, we then project into the future, shown as the third compartment farthest up from the nib, via our imagination, which is closely allied with memory, as first noted by Aristotle. Only humans can integrate these three dimensions of time to process the long-term future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing this visual representation of memory is the pen's cap, its seven lower rings representing the average maximum number of items that can be stored in memory at one time. Above that are five thinner rings to denote the five basic senses upon which all memories are created. The brushed steel columns, running vertically within the seven lower rings, are arranged to symbolize the bidirectional flow of information for memory creation or recall. In contrast, an engraved metal pattern on the barrel and cap illustrates the neural network – the basis of memory creation and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaped in the form of a seahorse, the pocket clip represents the hippocampus and the amygdala, two structures important in the initial stages of memory formation, with brushed steel to show the communication between these parts of the brain. A seahorse is also etched on the nib, just like the Brain Pen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Memory Pen is limited to 300 examples, each of which is a fountain pen and a rollerball in sterling silver, to represent the P300 electrical wave produced by the brain, which effectively correlates with memory abilities and intelligence.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo convey the magnificence of memory in all of its power and capability, the Memory Pen arrives in packaging as inspiring as its contents. A transparent representation of the brain houses the pen, opened by two cylinders concealed in the base, while the stand conceals a copy of Dr. Restak's book. This allows the owner to appreciate the nuances of the \"program\" that stores all the thoughts that are so precious to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn and of itself, Montegrappa hopes that the Memory Pen will forever test its owner's powers of recollection, so densely packed is its surface with details inspired by the study of memory and the understanding of how one's memory operates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials: resin, sterling silver.\u003cbr\u003eLaunched in 2016 and is a SOLD OUT edition.\u003cbr\u003eEdition size 300.\u003cbr\u003eBrand new item, never been used.\u003cbr\u003eIt is housed in the special Montegrappa Memory Limited Edition gift packaging with warranty booklet.\u003cbr\u003eSKU: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eISPMNRSE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Montegrappa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44488660549822,"sku":"ISPMNRSE","price":3050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/7564\/2046\/files\/leader_memory_roller.jpg?v=1723435556"},{"product_id":"montegrappa-grappa-limited-edition-fountain-pen-2015","title":"Montegrappa Grappa Limited Edition Fountain Pen ISCUG_CU, 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eJoining Montegrappa’s Cult Collection, the Grappa Pen was inspired by the renowned distillate “grappa”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ean Italian specialty that nowadays has devotees all over the world.

It embraces the most fluid and elegant form of writing instrument yet devised, but one with history. The revolutionary aspect of Q1 is its presentation in a truly radical form, with features not found before in a pen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eA mere glance informs the observer – both pen enthusiast and casual onlooker – that this pen is special, original, ground-breaking.

Inspired by the robustness and functionality of an ammunition case, the chest is made of wood, with soft lining to protect the contents. It is fitted with a number of compartments to accommodate both the pen and its accessories, including auxiliary hardware for its continued maintenance: a pair of gloves, a set of tissues and spare ink cartridges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eA final element of the Q1 experience is the inclusion of a syringe, specifically supplied for the cleaning of the feeder from the ink colour last used, when changing the cartridge for a different colour.
