The AP Limited Editions Writer Maki-e Fountain Pen – Hummingbird and Fuchsia captures a moment of poised movement: a hummingbird suspended mid-hover as fuchsia blossoms arc into view. Rendered in traditional Japanese maki-e atop deep urushi lacquer, the scene glows with quiet radiance, inviting a closer look at each feather, filament, and petal. The Writer format anchors this artistry in day-to-day usability, creating a pen that feels as considered in hand as it looks on display.

Craftsmanship & Design

Built around a glossy, hand-lacquered urushi body, the composition pairs velvety black depth with the gentle shimmer of metallic powders and colored pigments. The hummingbird’s form is articulated with layered maki-e work to suggest motion and iridescence without resorting to excess; the fuchsia blooms answer in saturated pinks and nuanced greens, their contours subtly lifted by light and shadow. The artwork spans cap and barrel with an elegant visual balance, offering new details at every turn.

Multiple coats of urushi are cured and polished to a lustrous finish that enhances color saturation and lends a refined tactile warmth. The result is an object that rewards use as much as admiration—resilient enough for regular handling, yet executed with the delicacy collectors expect from true maki-e.

Writing Experience

A 14k gold nib provides a supple, composed feel on the page, balancing smoothness with reliable feedback for controlled script. Offered in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, and Broad, it accommodates a range of writing styles—from precise annotation to generous signature lines—while maintaining steady ink flow. A cartridge/converter filling system adds practical versatility, supporting daily rotation without compromising the pen’s refined character.
