David Oscarson Black Water Dragon Black GT Fountain pen

The Black Water Dragon is the 18th release in the iconic David Oscarson™ series of Limited Edition Writing Instruments, inspired by one of the most powerful and revered figures in Chinese mythology. Produced in two primary color variations, each edition is limited to just 88 pieces worldwide, available in both fountain pen and rollerball styles. This collection honors the mythical creature’s deep symbolic legacy and the celestial energy of the Year of the Black Water Dragon (2012)—a rare convergence that occurs only every 60 years.

Crafted from .925 Sterling Silver and adorned with Gold Vermeil, the Black Water Dragon pens feature intricate multi-level guilloché engraving paired with a stunning combination of translucent and opaque hard enamel. The design includes the ancient Chinese water symbol, carved into high and mid-relief, creating a dynamic texture and depth. The pen's body is then meticulously kiln-fired and hand-polished through multiple stages, resulting in the rich, luminous finish that defines the David Oscarson hallmark.

In Chinese culture, the Dragon symbolizes good fortune, power, fertility, and divine protection. Revered as the ultimate celestial being, the dragon is often seen warding off evil and bringing blessings to those who bear its mark. The Black Water Dragon, in particular, blends the fluid power of water with the dragon’s commanding presence—symbolizing wisdom, diplomacy, and the potential for great achievement.

Available Color Variations:

• Translucent Ruby Red and Opaque Black in Gold Vermeil
• Opaque Black in Gold Vermeil
