New Pelikan Limited Edition Maki-E Peacock

[Fritz Schimpf]

We have just received word that this years Pelikan maki-e fountain pen will be released in June.

The Maki-e Peacock Limited Edition is, judging by the pictures, a beautiful pen with a hefty price tag.

 

Here is a picture of this beauty:

Man, I feel like the purpose of that horrible silver with diamonds M1000 was just to make this one fly off the shelves. Looks pretty awesome, if only I had the $3k for a pen.

Ohhhhhhh!

What a beauty. Elusive, unobtainable, the stuff that dreams are made of.

That is gorgeous!

Stunning. Surprised I've never seen peacock feathers on a fountain pen before. Nice motif.

Nakaya has a few peacocks (well, two, to my knowledge):

Thanks for mentioning these. Very nice looking, especially the second link.

Tastes differ. The design looks like a cheap Chinese pen to me.

While the pen doesn't look to me like a "cheap" pen, I don't find the Pelikan M model particularly well suited to Maki-e. There is too much distraction from all the trim. I prefer a more subtle canvas for an ornate Maki-e application. I guess it is just as well as at this point, I don't plan to spend that kind of money for a pen. But, each to their own; I doubt they will have any trouble selling them.

Not my cup of tea. I, unfortunately, do not find Maki-e enthralling.

 

It is the same pen with an expensive embellishment, which is fine if the objective is to display it as a work of art. Another one is the Dragonfly.

 

I have not yet warmed to the idea of using a pen as a canvas, perhaps a mental block.

While I love Pelikans, I don’t like this at all, and my wallet is extremely grateful.

[papermen]

What a beauty.

[Inkyways]

Amazing pen! Before this, I have to get some other Pelikans ...

[PAKMAN]

Beautiful!
