David Oscarson Winter Black Fountain pen

Embrace the refined elegance of winter with the David Oscarson Winter Collection, the second installment in the renowned David Oscarson™ series of Limited Edition Writing Instruments. Meticulously handcrafted and produced in four stunning color variations, each piece in this collection is limited to just 128 creations worldwide—including both fountain pens and rollerballs.

An Icy Symphony of Art and Craftsmanship

The Winter Collection celebrates the beauty and serenity of the season through the harmonious fusion of Old World guilloché engraving and the timeless art of hard enamel. Each pen showcases three distinct levels of guilloché, a first for David Oscarson designs, layered to create intricate ice-inspired patterns with remarkable depth and brilliance.

Every pen is a study in precision, elegance, and technical mastery, representing the highest standards of craftsmanship in the world of fine writing instruments.

Four Captivating Color Variations

Each piece in the Winter Collection features richly layered translucent hard enamel, contrasted by luminous accents of opalescent white enamel. Choose from four stunning finishes, each with its own unique appeal:

• Translucent Winter Blue Enamel with Rhodium Vermeil
• Opaque Black and Translucent White Enamel with Rhodium Vermeil
• Translucent Grey Enamel with Rhodium Vermeil
• Translucent White Enamel with Rhodium Vermeil

Each version is limited to just 128 pieces, making them treasured additions to any luxury pen collection.

Masterful Guilloché Engraving

Crafted from 18-karat gold and .925 Sterling Silver, every component undergoes three separate engraving stages:

1. A high-relief ice pattern that gives the design a sculptural, frosted appearance
2. A pinstriped guilloché background adding elegance and movement
3. A third dimension of frost-like detail, completing the frozen motif

This engraving technique brings texture, brilliance, and life to the precious metal surface beneath the enamel.

The Art of Hard Enamel

Using traditional techniques dating back centuries, each enamel layer is ground by hand, applied with precision, and fired at over 1,000°F. After cooling, each piece is filed and polished to achieve the velvet-smooth surface and glassy luster characteristic of the finest translucent hard enamel work.

The process is so complex that artisans must undergo a five-year apprenticeship to master it—making each Winter Collection pen a true labor of love.

Superior Writing Experience

Beneath the exquisite surface lies unmatched writing performance. Every fountain pen features:

• A hand-tuned 18k gold nib, engineered in Heidelberg, Germany
• Rhodium-plated for lasting brilliance
• Tipped with iridium for durability
• Paired with a precision ebonite feeder
• Available in fine, medium, and broad nib sizes
• Compatible with cartridge, converter, and eyedropper filling systems

A rollerball version is also available in each color variation for those who prefer an alternative writing style.
