Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Circa 2006 Danitrio Grand Trio Ebonite Maki-e Limited Edition (8 of 100) Madame Butterfly Fountain Pen fitted with an 18K Medium Nib. This Danitrio Fountain Pen comes with the original box, documentation, and pen sleeve all of which are in Mint condition. 

This Danitrio is made of ebonite from the Grand Trio Maki-e Collection or Hyotan in the Madame Butterfly design and was completed by the artist, Mr. Kanji Yamamoto (Akioi). This fountain pen is limited edition #8 of 100 pieces. Some of the stalwarts in the business claim that these limited editions never ended up making all 100 pieces. They were limited to short runs of 10 each. So, while the pen says 8 of 100, there may very well be less than 100 pieces of this Madame Butterfly model made. 

The Danitrio Hyotan model comes with no clip. The process of urushi lacquer takes anywhere from 2 to 6 months to complete. The pen is in Excellent condition with no nicks, cracks, scratches, or repairs. The scene of Madame Butterfly on the barrel is highly defined and displays vibrant coloring. On the opposite side of the Madame Butterfly scene, at the lower portion of the barrel, you will see the limited edition 8/100 and Yamamoto signature. The cap displays a cathedral scene, again with great detail. The cap is always securing to the barrel tightly. This Danitrio Madame Butterfly Fountain Pen measures 5 3/4" capped and has a diameter of 21.16mm around the widest point, which is the center of the cap. 

The Danitrio Fountain Pen comes fitted with an 18K Medium Nib. The point measures at .87mm, or a medium point, when measured with digital calipers. 

The filling system is via an Ink Converter. I tested it with water and works as it was designed to.

The Danitrio comes with the original black lacquered box with a Japanese script and Maki-e on the cover. Internally, we have the Danitrio Madame Butterfly documentation literature and the kimono fabric pen sleeve. 

This Danitrio Limited Edition Fountain Pen is individually handmade and takes roughly 2 to 6 months to get one of these completed. I would consider this one in Mint Condition. It is a piece of fine artwork with fabulous detail. Or you can use the fountain pen to write with. Either way, it is a spectacular and rare piece to add to one's writing arsenal collection.
