Bonhams 1793 : MONTBLANC: Art of Porcelain Limited Edition 10 Ballpoint Pen

One of Montblanc's most exclusive limited editions. This fine instrument pays tribute to porcelain, an Eastern treasure that Marco Polo introduced to an astonished Europe in the 13th century, where its gleaming smoothness and elegant beauty earned it the appellation "white gold." Crafted of brilliant vermeil, sheathed in antique porcelain and hand-painted with a unique equestian motif. Each of the 10 pens in the limitation bears a unique motif; thus, this is truly the only example of its kind. Outer box, moiré cloth inner box, lacquered hardwood display box, booklet. Limited Edition: 06/10.
