[Sold] Imperial Dragon, Imperial Jade fountain pen
Yulia Glas loves Chinese art, porcelain and jewellery, and knows that Imperial Jade is the most valuable of all gems, more rare and more expensive than diamonds. She painted this Imperial Dragon, showing deference to the decree in 1315 that only an emperor could wear a five-clawed, two-horned dragon motif. On the cap Yulia has added the dragon golden treasure chest, with a pearl on top, full of gold coins and jewels. Among these jewels are various Imperial Jade necklaces, which were reserved for the exclusive use of the emperor and his most senior officials, as well as strings of pearls, coral and butterscotch amber. The background pattern is stonework on a lustrous metallic red.
Lana made a special resin for the grip section in russet red with shimmers of gold.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen. If you would like to request a custom pen from Yulia, you are welcome to contact us via the contact form on our website.

The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
