Four Levels of Guilloché – A First in Penmaking

The Seaside Fountain Pen is the first David Oscarson design to feature four levels of guilloché engraving:

• Wave-patterned backgrounds cut deep into the pen body.
• Shells and sand dollars elevated in two tiers of high relief.
• Skeletal sand dollar motifs etched with lifelike precision.
• Scallop patterns engraved onto each shell surface.

This depth and dimension are enhanced with translucent hard enamel, creating a luminous finish that mirrors the play of sunlight on ocean waves.

Exceptional Enameling and Old World Technique

David Oscarson’s renowned use of hot enamel transforms each pen into a layered work of art:

• Enamel paste is hand-ground from glass, water, and metal oxides.
• Applied meticulously with a quill to guilloché surfaces.
• Fired at over 1,000°F, fusing the enamel into smooth, glassy perfection.
• Each component is hand-filed and re-fired up to 20 times for flawless results.

This painstaking process requires years of training and an artisan’s touch, ensuring every Seaside pen is a true collectible masterpiece.
