Sailor
Creatures Of The DeepLimited Edition
The Hammerhead Shark
The Creatures of the Deep - "Same" Hammerhead shark Limited to 88 pieces of each creature worldwide,
and with only a small percentage reaching US shores, this numbered series will
likely be very collectible.
Gold dust shimmers, giving the illusion of light
reflected in water.
Of
the 88 pieces in this edition, we currently have the complete set #4/88 & #16/88.
As with all limited edition Maki-e fountain pens, the Shark
has been signed and numbered by the artist. In this case Koushu Nishihara's signature
appears on the barrel.
These pens illustrate
the ability of this artist to exploit the shape of the pen in his design. The
hammerhead shark figures wrap around the barrel. The artist captures the fluid
movement of the sharks body in water. Pigmented discs give the sense of a submarine
environment.
On the barrel one shark faces the pen holder with teeth bared
and eyes directed upward. The other shark is swimming away.
The black
resin of the pen offers a background that accentuates the deep purple and gold.
Static pictures seen here do not fully reveal the flowing movement. They
must be experienced in the round to be fully appreciated.
Because 21K nib on the Creatures of the Deep edition is the
same size nib as the 1911 series nib, we can offer it in the complete Sailor range.
Our price $1380
The Shark is no longer available for individual sale - however, it can be purchased as part of a complete set of all ten Creatures of the Deep pens. Please contact us for details.
