Caran d'Ache Limited Edition Artist Collection Solid Silver Phoenix Fountain Pen
PHOENIX LIMITED EDITON:
"a supernatural creation"
The sacred bird of Chinese mythology, the Phoenix, is the second most famous supernatural creature after the Dragon. The Phoenix, which is called "Feng Huang" in Chinese, only appears in times of peace and prosperity. Each of its twelve tail feathers is decorated with an eye like a peacock's feather, making the Phoenix both majestic and refined. The metal and the golden lacquer constitute a tonal harmony that brings out the delicacy of the drawing and the precision of its execution. The Phoenix Limited Edition contains only 88 fountain pens and 88 roller pens in rhodium-coated 800 solid silver. The number 88 is significant: in Chinese notation, 8 is a lucky number, a sign of prosperity. It also represents perfect balance. As a supreme luxury, 10 pieces in the Phoenix Limited Edition have been produced in solid gold. The Phoenix, the bird of fire, is associated with the colour red and each eye - for the gold version- is set with a sumptuous ruby. The rich reflections of these gems, 0.02 carats each, add a brilliant depth to this rare edition.
