Taiwanese writing instrument brand ARTEX takes "ART Expression" and the diverse styles of art as its core design philosophy. In mid-2020, on our journey to explore the veins of art,

we encountered the "National Palace Museum," preparing to ignite more beautiful artistic sparks!

The National Palace Museum in Taiwan houses the world's largest collection of priceless Chinese art treasures, with artifacts spanning almost the entire 5,000-year history of China. It is ranked among the world's top five museums, alongside the Louvre Museum in France, the British Museum in the UK, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the USA, and the Hermitage Museum in Russia. ARTEX's brand value lies in its diverse stylistic expression, allowing art to begin in everyday life; the existence of the National Palace Museum allows the beauty of art to permeate our lives.

Collection and Design Description

"Vase with Sgraffito and Gilt Lotus Scrolls in Celadon Glaze"

Qianlong Period, Qing Dynasty, 1736-1795 AD

This gilded lotus vase was produced during the seventh year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It is 12.4 cm tall, with a mouth diameter of 3.5 cm and a base diameter of 4.5 cm.

It features a straight mouth, a long neck, a round belly, and a ring foot. The Qing imperial court referred to this type of bottle with a slightly wider and longer neck as a "paper mallet" vase.

The exterior is entirely coated with cobalt blue glaze.The decorative patterns are painted in gold and silver, with a key-fret pattern adorning the rim and shoulder. The neck and belly are decorated with scrolling lotus flowers.

The base and ring foot feature a band of lotus petals and scrolling grass patterns. The rim and foot are edged in gold. The body is thin and white, while the interior and base are covered in white glaze.

The base bears a six-character, three-line seal script in underglaze blue, "Made in the Great Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong Reign."

For this collaboration with the National Palace Museum, the "Magnetic Body Polychrome Gilt Lotus Scroll Bottle with Blue Ground" from the collection is incorporated into the product.

With the vase as the muse, and the pen and pen holder as the medium, we have created an exquisite stationery set that carries classic artistry.

The pen transforms into a graceful classical vase, while the pen holder becomes a tray that complements the vase. The combination of these two pieces makes the pen a work of art,

whether used for writing or displayed when not in use, adding luster to life with its perfect posture, and incorporating ingenious details in every aspect.

Appreciating the Beauty of Exquisite Craftsmanship

From the three-dimensional hollow carving on the upper pen cap, the gilded lotus pattern printed on the lower barrel, to the scrolling key-fret patterns found on the two golden end caps,

and finally, the slightly convex curved design of the lower barrel – every detail showcases the beauty of exquisite craftsmanship.

Solid Metal Weight and Comfortable Grip

ARTEX pens are crafted with a brass metal base to achieve a solid and substantial feel, then integrated with various elements according to different designs, allowing for a richer and more diverse artistic expression.

The three-dimensional hollow-carved pen cap on the upper section of this pen is made of pewter alloy metal. Due to its softer nature compared to other metals, it is suitable for more intricate carving techniques,

possessing great artistic beauty and making the entire pen more substantial and weighty.

However, here's a small writing tip:

It is recommended to remove the weight of the pen cap, leaving only the writing weight of the pen body, combined with the specially designed slightly convex curved pen body, for a more comfortable writing experience.

Crafting a Smooth Writing Experience

Whether fountain pens or rollerball pens, ARTEX uses world-renowned German Schmidt brand refills, known for their smooth ink flow and stable quality, making them suitable for daily writing.

Furthermore, a great advantage of international standards is that you won't have trouble finding the right refill when it's time for a change, making replacement convenient and universally compatible!
