For sale is a custom-made Parker Super 21 fountain pen, artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Art independently using natural urushi lacquer.

We are calling this one Crimson Noir.

The finish features red urushi fading into black urushi, with fine golden powder gathered around the transition.

The two-color design visually separates the pen into a red and a black section, changing the original cap-to-barrel proportion of the Parker Super 21. It gives the pen a cleaner, more modern, and more elegant partition while still keeping the classic Parker silhouette. The transition looks great, both capped and posted, so the design feels intentional in either form.

The pen has the iconic chrome Parker arrow clip, a hooded tubular Octanium fine nib, and a built-in Aerometric filler. This style of Octanium nib is also featured in the Parker 51 Special, giving it that practical and precise vintage Parker 51 writing character. The pen is also signed by our studio.

Specifications

• Natural red-to-black urushi lacquer finish
• Fine golden powder around the transition
• Hooded tubular Octanium F nib
• Built-in Aerometric filler
• Iconic chrome Parker arrow clip
• Signed by Laqquerman Surface Art
• Looks good capped or posted
• Shipping from New York, USA

Price: $499 or best offer. Custom project inquiries are welcome.

For sale is a custom-made Platinum 3776 fountain pen with an 18K gold medium nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using pear-skin (nashiji) urushi lacquer and cherry blossom abalone shell inlay.

We are calling this one Dusk Blossoms.

The body is finished with a dark lacquer background, where fine golden flakes glow through the surface like warm dust in evening light. The golden particles are layered under lacquer, giving the pen a soft, deep shimmer rather than a flat metallic sparkle.

Scattered across the body are cherry blossom raden inlays made from abalone shell. Under light, the blossoms shift between violet, pink, green, and blue, adding a quiet iridescent accent against the darker lacquer background. The result feels elegant and romantic, like cherry blossom petals dancing in the sunset.

The pen is based on the Platinum 3776, a classic Japanese writer with a very comfortable size and a reliable writing feel. The 18K gold medium nib is smooth and enjoyable, with the pleasant feedback Platinum nibs are known for.

Specifications

• 18K gold M nib
• Pear-skin (nashiji) natural lacquer (urushi) finish
• Cherry blossom abalone shell inlay (raden)
• Converter included
• Platinum box and paperwork included
• Shipping from New York, USA

For sale is a custom-made, one-of-a-kind Parker Urban fountain pen with an upgraded 14K two-tone fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using a pear-skin (nashiji) urushi lacquer finish.

We are calling this one Amber Night.

The finish is inspired by the traditional pear-skin technique, or nashiji, where fine metallic particles are suspended under layers of lacquer to create a soft, glowing surface. On this pen, the golden sprinkles are most concentrated around the trim, then gradually fade toward both ends. The effect gives the pen a warm, ember-like glow.

The design works especially well with the Parker Urban’s curved, hourglass silhouette. The darker ends make the body feel slimmer and more sculptural, while the golden particles around the center visually emphasize the pen’s soft waistline and flowing shape.

The upgraded 14K two-tone fine nib is a very enjoyable writer. It is smooth, responsive, and has a bit of softness/flexibility, giving the pen a more refined writing feel than the standard setup.

Specifications

• Brand-new art piece, never used after creation
• Custom pear-skin (nashiji) natural lacquer (urushi) finish
• Gradient concentration around the trim
• Upgraded 14K two-tone F nib
• Smooth and slightly flexible writer
• Converter included
• Box included
• Shipping from New York, USA

For sale is a custom one-of-a-kind oversize jade Sheaffer Lifetime flat-top fountain pen with a 14K gold Lifetime nib. This pen is around 100 years old, so the goal was not to bury the original character under decoration, but to preserve its antique presence while giving the body extra strength where it matters.

The design features raised lacquer sculpture in a green peacock feather motif, chosen to blend naturally with the jade celluloid body. The feathers are built up in lacquer, reinforced with metal, and accented with raden shell chips that catch light in blue, green, violet, and silver.

The sculptural work is not only decorative. On these antique Sheaffer Lifetime pens, the lever area can be a weak point because a pin passes through the body, and the surrounding celluloid takes the stress during filling. We placed reinforced lacquer sculpture around both sides of the lever area to help distribute and alleviate that stress. In other words, the peacock is pretty, but it also showed up to do structural engineering.

We also refilled and preserved the original factory imprint text, kept the white dot on top, added a clear protective layer over the entire pen, and added our studio mark near the lever. This is our first signed work, which makes it especially meaningful to us.

The oversize Lifetime nib is a generous, thick 14K gold nib with a precise writing feel, great for note-taking and controlled everyday use. The ink sac has been replaced with a modern one, so the filling system is ready to go. An antique Sheaffer box is included.

Specifications

• Oversize jade Sheaffer Lifetime flat-top fountain pen, approx. 100-year-old
• 14K gold Sheaffer Lifetime F nib
• Custom raised lacquer sculpture
• Green peacock feather motif
• Raden shell chip accents
• Metal-reinforced lacquer work around lever area
• Original factory imprint refilled and preserved
• Original white dot preserved
• First signed Laqquerman Surface Arts work
• Modern ink sac installed
• Antique Sheaffer box included

For sale is a custom one-of-a-kind Parker Urban fountain pen upgraded with a 14K gold fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using red urushi lacquer, a polished stone-grain background, and raised maki-e.

The motif on the cap is inspired by kosen / 古銭, meaning old coin or ancient coin. We built it in raised maki-e style using metal powder, so it has the quiet, aged look of something that has survived several dynasties and ended up in an auction catalog.

The red background started from an ishime-like stone texture, but instead of leaving it fully rough, we polished the raised surface smooth. This gives the lacquer a softened “bokeh stone” effect: rugged and earthy in appearance, but still comfortable in the hand. You get the visual depth of texture without the feeling of holding a decorative cheese grater.

The ancient silver coin motif works especially well with Parker Urban’s gunmetal accents. The overall look is moody, old-world, and slightly mythological, but still practical enough to actually write with.

The nib has been upgraded to a smooth 14K gold fine nib. A converter and Parker box are included.

Specifications

• Upgraded 14K gold F nib
• Red urushi lacquer finish
• Polished ishime-inspired “bokeh stone” background
• Raised maki-e old coin motif, kosen / 古銭
• Metal powder used for the aged silver coin effect
• Converter included
• Parker box included
• Shipping from New York, USA

For sale is a custom one-of-a-kind Pilot Capless / Vanishing Point Decimo fountain pen with an 18K gold fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using black urushi lacquer and shell inlay inspired by Pilot’s Raden Galaxy design. We picked Decimo because it's more portable and lighter for extended writing sessions.

The base design follows the spirit of the official raden galaxy model, but we made the shell chips slightly larger and more scattered around the center ring, giving it a subtle iridescent “galaxy confetti” effect. Under light, the shell flashes green, purple, blue, and pink against the black lacquer ground.

We also added small cherry blossom inlays near both ends of the pen, because apparently, we looked at a sleek black raden pen and thought, “Yes, but what if it became a little cuter?”

The result is still elegant, but with a softer, more playful personality. Think galaxy star gazing after it got invited to a spring picnic.

The base pen is in great condition overall. It comes with a converter and will be shipped in a Pilot box.

Important note: the nib unit came with the wrong label. The tag says “Extra Fine,” but the nib itself is F, not EF. Please go by the actual nib marking, not the label.

Specifications

• Base Pilot Capless / Vanishing Point Decimo fountain pen in great condition
• 18K gold F nib
• Black urushi lacquer finish
• Raden shell inlay inspired by Pilot Raden Galaxy
• Cherry blossom shell inlays near both ends
• Converter included

The last few drops in the grip section are pretty hard to get out. My best method currently is to slightly block the tip with my finger while pushing the vacumatic rod. Is there any better way to do it?

For sale is a custom one-of-a-kind Parker Sonnet fountain pen with an 18K gold fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using red urushi lacquer with a golden bronze bamboo pattern.

This piece started as our attempt to make something bright, festive, and elegant without letting it turn into a cheap, flashy tourism souvenir. The red urushi gives the pen a rich, ceremonial presence, while the bamboo pattern is finished in a toned-down golden bronze so it feels aged, restrained, and quietly luxurious rather than loud.

The bamboo leaves are lightly accented with golden powder, giving the surface a subtle sparkle under light. It is not the “look at me from across the room” kind of gold. It is more like “I have taste, patience, and possibly a very tasteful stationery drawer.”

The 18K gold fine nib writes smoothly and gives the pen the refined writing feel expected from a Parker Sonnet. The contrast between the red lacquer, warm gold trim, and black section makes the whole piece feel classic and very giftable for special occasions.

We also made a matching red lacquer Zippo lighter with the same bamboo motif. The pen is the main item here, but the lighter and the other lacquered objects shown in the pictures are also available for purchase. Custom project inquiries are welcome, too, especially if you have an object sitting around unlacquered.

Specifications

• The base Parker Sonnet fountain pen is in very good condition
• 18K gold fine nib
• Natural red urushi lacquer finish
• Golden bronze bamboo pattern
• Light golden powder accents
• Converter included
• Shipping from New York, USA

Price: $499 or best offer.

Matching lacquered Zippo lighter available separately, or together with the pen, $649.

For sale is a custom one-of-a-kind Sheaffer Admiral fountain pen with an extra-fine 14K gold nib. It has been artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using hand-fitted sterling silver overlays in a traditional 山文 / Shanwen pattern.

The Shanwen pattern is a Y-shaped, three-pointed star motif often seen in depictions of Chinese armor, sometimes also called the “Chinese star” pattern. Naturally, we thought: what fits an Admiral better than a full suit of shiny sterling silver armor?

The sterling silver pattern was laser cut, then painstakingly adjusted and hand-fitted onto the pen body. The base pen is a lever-filled Sheaffer Admiral in vintage condition. We made a precise cutout for the lever filler bar, so the original filling mechanism remains fully accessible and functional. The result is something more structural and durable than painted decoration, with a crisp metallic surface that feels more like an armored writing instrument than a regular vintage pen. It feels both ancient-warrior-ish and oddly Art Deco.

The nib needs no introduction. It is a vintage Sheaffer 14K gold extra-fine nib with that classic springy feel people love from older Sheaffer pens. Precise, responsive, and very satisfying to write with.

This is probably the pen you use when your grocery list needs to look like a naval dispatch from a fortified mountain temple.

Specifications

• Sterling silver Shanwen / “Chinese star” armor overlay
• Laser cut and hand-fitted silver work
• Precise cutout for lever filler access
• 14K gold extra-fine nib
• Vintage Sheaffer box included
• Shipping from New York, USA

For sale is a custom-made Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen with an 18K gold fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using black urushi lacquer and shell inlay, also known as raden.

This piece follows the spirit of the official raden stripe Vanishing Point design, but with our own hand-finished execution. Last year at a pen show, we heard a collector mention that this particular raden stripe pattern was never officially offered in the U.S. market. That complaint stayed in our heads for a while, so we made this sample to see whether other VP fans might feel the same way.

The design keeps the Vanishing Point’s sleek black body, then adds vertical shell inlays near the center band. Under light, the raden flashes between green, purple, pink, and blue, giving the pen a mesmerizing shimmer. The overall design is clean and modern, but still has that little “wait, what was that glow?” moment when the angle changes.

The 18K gold fine nib gives the classic Vanishing Point writing experience: smooth, a bit flexible, and ready for quick notes without needing to uncap anything. The retractable mechanism works properly, and the pen will be shipped in a Pilot box.

Please note that the base pen has some plating wear, visible in the photos. Other than that, it is in great condition, and the pricing will reflect this.

Specifications

• 18K gold F nib
• Custom black urushi lacquer finish with raden shell inlay stripe pattern, inspired by the official raden stripe model

For sale is a custom-made, one-of-a-kind Parker Urban fountain pen upgraded with a 12K gold fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using handmade purple ishime urushi lacquer with embedded copper accents.

The body is finished in a deep purple ishime stone-grain texture, giving the pen a grounded, earthy feel in the hand. Unlike a glossy smooth lacquer finish, ishime has a geological surface that feels grippy and quietly luxurious. It is not loud in the usual glossy way.

Small copper pieces are embedded into the lacquer to create scattered metallic patterns across the surface. Under light, they catch warm highlights against the darker purple ground, adding subtle depth without overwhelming the textured finish. The grip section is also lacquered, so the whole pen feels visually continuous rather than just decorated on the outside.

The nib has been upgraded to a 12K gold fine nib, making this a much more enjoyable writer than the standard Parker Urban setup. It has a comfortable modern body, a tactile handmade surface, and just enough metallic sparkle to keep things interesting.

Specifications

• Upgraded 12K gold F nib
• Handmade purple ishime urushi lacquer finish
• Embedded copper accents in the lacquer
• Lacquered grip section
• Includes a converter
• Includes a Parker IM box

For sale is a hand-machined Parker 51 Vacumatic demonstrator fountain pen with a 14K gold fine nib. This piece is a tribute to the classic Parker 51 clear demonstrators originally produced as sales samples, but rebuilt with modern material and clean finishing.

The barrel is made from high-quality clear acrylic, allowing the Vacumatic filling system and internal structure to remain visible. The new clear parts are fully hand-machined rather than injection molded, then polished on both the inside and outside. That inner polishing matters: many modern demonstrator copies show heavy machining threads inside the clear parts, which can make the body look cloudy. This one keeps the transparency much cleaner.

The original vintage Parker 51 demonstrators are fascinating, but surviving examples often suffer from cracking and yellowing. They are hard to find and can be quite expensive. This version keeps the spirit of those sales demonstrators while making the pen more practical and stable for actual use.

The arrow clip is original, with the blue diamond re-painted. It appears to be solid silver. The top jewel has been replaced with a hand-ground opal stone, which adds a subtle glow while being much more durable than a plastic jewel. The original diaphragm has also been replaced with a high-quality modern diaphragm, so the Vacumatic system operates properly.

Specifications

• Hand-machined Parker 51 Vacumatic demonstrator fountain pen
• Original Parker 14K gold F nib
• High-quality clear acrylic barrel
• Clear parts polished inside to our best ability for improved transparency
• Original blue diamond arrow clip (This one appears to be solid silver)

For sale is a custom one-of-a-kind Montblanc 22 fountain pen with a flexible 14K gold fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Surface Arts independently, using natural red urushi lacquer and long-strip mother-of-pearl inlay.

The body is finished in a red urushi ground, then overlaid with long vertical strips of mother-of-pearl inlay. Under light, the raden shifts between green, silver, blue, and fiery pink, giving the pen a bright, jubilant shimmer without losing its vintage elegance.

We also re-worked the MB star logo with shell pieces. It is a small detail, but it makes the whole piece feel more complete and intentional.

The pen itself operates smoothly, with the classic Montblanc 22 ink viewing window still visible, so you can check the remaining ink level at any time. The flexible 14K gold fine nib is the real joy here: soft, responsive, and pleasant, with the feather-touch feedback often uniquely associated with Montblanc’s hallmark semi-hooded “wing” nib designs from the 1970s era.

It is elegant, cheerful, and just unusual enough to make your pen tray reflect your elevated taste and social life.

Specifications

• The base Montblanc 22 is in flawless condition
• Flexible 14K gold F nib
• Natural red urushi lacquer finish
• Long-strip mother-of-pearl raden inlay
• Montblanc star logo re-worked with shell pieces
• Ink viewing window
• Smooth piston operation
• Shipping from New York, USA

Please note that there is a tiny disconnection in one strip of raden inlays in the cap, but the surface is all perfectly smooth. It does not affect any functionality or structural strength. The price is discounted to reflect this issue.

For sale is a custom one-of-a-kind fountain pen built from a Parker Urban, upgraded with a 14K gold fine nib. It is artistically re-worked by Laqquerman Studio independently, using hand-applied urushi lacquer and carved-line inlay techniques.

This piece features a warm beige urushi ground with a black linear pattern that we are calling Reedline: a quiet, modern composition inspired by windblown reeds, wild grass, and ink-brush movement. The design feels minimal from a distance, but up close it has a sharp architectural rhythm, like a field of fine black strokes caught in motion.

The pattern was created by carving fine lines into the beige urushi base, filling those cuts with black urushi, then polishing the surface back down. The result is harmony hidden in chaos.

The Parker Urban body gives the pen a sleek, comfortable shape (which is our favorite), while the upgraded 14K gold fine nib makes it a much more enjoyable writer than the standard version. It is chic and unusual.

We've been obsessed with Chen Rong's Nine Dragons scroll from 1244; it's owned by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, though it rarely comes out of storage given its age. If you haven't seen it in person, don't worry, we're in the same boat. We tried to study the original design through its public digital scan, but reimagining the colors was a challenge since the original was done entirely in black ink wash. It's this massive ink-on-paper handscroll where dragons emerge from storms, waves, and clouds. The way Chen Rong rendered the scales and movement honestly still feels ahead of its time, nearly 800 years later.

We wanted to see if we could transplant that energy onto a pen. This is a Platinum 3776 with black urushi lacquer as the base, and we applied the dragon in maki-e following the style and composition of the original scroll. This was one of our early experimental pieces, so we were still figuring out how to adapt a painting that sprawls across a 14-meter scroll onto something you hold between three fingers.

Some of the challenges that surprised us: the curvature of the barrel completely changes how the scales read compared to a flat surface - what looks proportional in a sketch wraps differently in three dimensions. And going from a monochrome ink painting to maki-e meant making color decisions the original never had to make. We added red flames as accents around the dragon, borrowing from a motif that's common across traditional dragon paintings even though it's absent in Chen Rong's version.

The original dragon also hides in the clouds, so we had to reimagine and backfill the parts of its body that Chen Rong intentionally left obscured. On top of that, we reoriented the dragon from horizontal to vertical to wrap around the pen, and quickly discovered that the cap and barrel aren't on the same plane - the cap is thicker, so the dragon has a visible disconnect where it crosses from one to the other. It's not a simple ctrl+C & ctrl+V, and there is definitely no ctrl+Z. 🥹

We included a couple of images of the original Chen Rong painting for reference so you can see where the dragon's posture and expression come from. Has anyone else come across maki-e work that draws from specific historical paintings or scrolls? We fell down the rabbit hole after studying Chen Rong's Nine Dragons and trying to figure out how to translate ink wash onto lacquer, and we'd love to know if there are other pieces out there - from any era or maker - that trace back to a particular source artwork.
