Ideal for Visconti Collectors only made 224 pieces worldwide
Celebrate
the Chinese New Year with Visconti's Year of the Dragon limited
edition. Year of the Dragon captures the majestic beauty and elegance of
Chinese traditions
while showcasing the artisanal skill and creativity
of the Visconti craftsmen, who have meticulously crafted every detail.
This pen is crafted from gold-plated sterling silver, intricately
engraved to depict the shape of an exuberant fie-clawed Chinese dragon
proudly standing among
a background of small steam clouds. In fact, in
Chinese culture, contrary to the West, the dragon is not associated with
the element of fire as much as with water, steam,
and clouds.
Silhouetted against a red background, a traditionally auspicious color,
the figure is further accentuated by the adept use of colored enameling
and by a finely
etched dragon-scale texture visible under a layer of
semi-transparent enamel. To emphasize its auspicious power and nobility,
Visconti designers decided to further enrich
the look of the Imperial
Dragon featured on the barrel by setting a precious red ruby in its eye.
Even the clip detail was conceived to represent a golden Chinese dragon
flying high over the clouds.
