In Europe as early as the Middle Ages, China was spoken of with reverence as a civilisation rich in artistic and cultural tradition. Stories were told of the finest porcelain, wafer-thin paper, precious silk and a legendary stone that was worked by expert hands into an exotic material – jade. During the Qing Dynasty, Chinese master craftsmen used this fascinating material to create unique sculptures and everyday objects that helped shape a hole epoch.
The Special Theme Edition Qing Dynasty pays tribute to this great era of Chinese culture. An outstanding feature of the pen is the cap, which is made of pure jade and surrounded by a lovingly hand-engraved dragon with five claws – the Chinese symbol of happiness, strength and long life. The 18-carat gold nib, which is decorated with a dragon, is the finishing touch to the exclusive pen from the Special Theme Edition Qing Dynasty – a combination of European craftsmanship and Chinese artistic tradition.
