HONGDIAN 1837 Maki-e Fountain Pen | 18K Gold-Plated | Classical Chinese Flora & Fauna

HONGDIAN 1837 Maki-e — A Thousand Years of Art, Held in Your Hand

The HONGDIAN 1837 Maki-e is not merely a writing instrument — it is a collector’s object. Inspired by the classical Chinese artistic tradition of flora and fauna painting, the barrel is adorned with intricate birds and blossoms rendered through multi-layer ink printing, then finished with an 18K gold-plated body that elevates every detail into something luminous. This is the pen you display when it’s not in use, and treasure when it is.

Classical Chinese Maki-e Artistry

• Traditional flora & fauna motif — birds in bloom, drawn from centuries of Chinese ink painting heritage
• Multi-layer ink printing process — each color is applied in sequence, building depth, dimension, and richness that flat printing cannot achieve
• Vintage aesthetic with a refined, antique warmth — a design that rewards close inspection
• Every pen carries the spirit of classical Chinese decorative art

18K Gold-Plated Body

• Full 18K gold-plated barrel and cap — a warm, rich luster that complements the painted artwork
• Durable plating that resists tarnish and maintains its brilliance over time
• Substantial, premium feel in hand — the weight of a true collector’s pen

A Writing Experience to Match

• Smooth fountain pen nib engineered for consistent, expressive ink flow
• Compatible with standard international cartridges and converters
• Designed for both daily writing and display — a pen that performs as beautifully as it looks
