| David
Oscarson Pierrette Limited Edition |
| We
are happy to announce that we will be representing David Oscarson Limited Edition
pens. |
|
| The Pierrette is part of a duo, Pierrot
and Pierrette, the dancing clowns. This is a light hearted pen derived from serious
craftsmanship. |
| |
| For a pen of its size (5.8") this feels like
a handful.. It holds a whopping 8.0 ml of ink when filled with the provided eyedropper.
|
 |
The legend of Pierrot and Pierrette began in the 17th century
when Jean-Antoine Watteau committed to canvas two clowns who were later made famous
by the Italian Commedia dell'arte. This timeless Duo was then adapted to French
pantomime where Pierrot is a noble and fun-loving clown. He is lonely and in love
with the beautiful Pierrette, whose affections run hot and cold. When his affections
are returned, they can be seen sitting together on the crescent of the moon. When
she ignores him, Pierrot sits on the moon by himself, strumming his mandolin and
pining for his beloved Pierrette. | |
Notice the diamond in the center of the clip ball.
Another diamond embellishes the center of the cap and the end of the barrel. |
|
In order to be used as an eyedropper filled pen, an extra "O"
ring is provided to double the seal between the section and the barrel. A straight
pin is provided to assist in installing and removing the extra "O" ring.
The fountain pen also comes with cartridges and a standard universal converter.
Empty, it weighs 82 g. |
|
|
| High temperature enamel is fired over guilloché
and finished to a high luster on the body of this pen. Only a few people in the
world today know this technique. |
| Each
pen is limited to an edition of 88 pieces. |
 |
These are also available as roller ball
pens.
