AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Namiki Yukari Maki-e fountain pen is presented in very good condition, with its original components intact and the artisanal quality characteristic of the Namiki brand.
The lacquered body retains a deep, uniform shine, with the hand-applied maki-e decoration well defined, free of material loss, lifts, or cracks in the lacquer. The decorative motifs maintain excellent color intensity and proper adhesion of the gold powder, with only very slight signs of use visible only under detailed inspection, typical of a piece that has been carefully used or stored.
The 14K solid gold nib is in excellent condition, properly aligned, with no deformations or noticeable wear at the tip. The surface well preserves the original engravings and shows no corrosion. The writing system is functional and the nib responds smoothly and evenly.
The cartridge/converter loading system is functioning properly. The threads and joints fit precisely, with no play or gaps.
The gold-plated metal elements (clip and rings) show a good level of preservation, with the shine present and no significant loss of the plating.
Overall, it is an authentic, complete, and fully functional pen, ideal for both collection and occasional use, preserving the artistic character and elegance that distinguish Namiki's Yukari models.
Good auction!
