COLLECTION & DESIGN EXPLANATION

"Blue Glazed Vase with Gilt Lotus Scrolls"

Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period, 1736-1795 AD

A gilt lotus vase made during the seventh year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, measuring 12.4 cm in height, 3.5 cm in mouth diameter, and 4.5 cm in base diameter.

It has a straight mouth, a long neck, a round belly, and a ring foot. In the Qing imperial court, this type of vase with a slightly wider and longer neck was known as a paper mallet vase.

The outer wall of the vessel is entirely coated with cobalt blue glaze. The decoration is painted in gold and silver, with a key fret pattern adorning the rim and shoulder. The neck and belly are painted with scrolling lotus flowers, and the base and ring foot feature a band of lotus petals and scrolling grass patterns. The rim and foot are gilded, the body is thin and pure white, and the interior and base are covered in white glaze. The bottom center bears a six-character, three-line seal script inscription in underglaze blue: "Made during the Qianlong reign of the Great Qing Dynasty."

In this collaboration with the National Palace Museum, the "Porcelain Vase with Famille Rose and Gilt Lotus Scrolls on a Blue Ground" from the collection is incorporated into the product.

Using the vase as a muse, and the pen and pen stand as a medium, a classic fine stationery item imbued with timeless elegance is created.

The pen is transformed into an elegant classical vase, while the pen stand becomes a tray to highlight the vase. The combination of these two pieces makes the pen resemble a work of art.

Whether used for writing or displayed when not in use, it adds elegance to life with its perfect posture, and thoughtful details are incorporated into every aspect.

APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF EXQUISITE CRAFTSMANSHIP

From the three-dimensional openwork carving on the upper cap to the gilt lotus flower pattern printing on the lower barrel, and the scrolling grass patterns on the gold end caps at both ends, all reflect the details found in the museum's collection.Finally, the lower barrel is designed with a slightly convex curved angle, with every detail showcasing 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, with different elements integrated according to the design to make artistic expression more diverse and rich.

The three-dimensional openwork cap of this pen is made of pewter alloy, a material softer than other metals, making it suitable for intricate carving techniques.It offers a strong artistic aesthetic and gives the pen a more substantial and weighty feel.

However, there is a small writing tip:

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

CREATE 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, suitable for everyday writing.

Furthermore, the international standard is a great advantage, so you won't have trouble finding replacement cartridges when needed, making them convenient to replace and universally compatible!
