Collections

AP Limited Editions offers collectors Perfect Writing Instruments that are also stunning works of Heritage Art. The inspiration for each pen is beautifully conveyed in the story that accompanies it.

The Collections are grouped by distinct Heritage Art techniques. Within each Heritage Art Collection, there are different series: The Connoisseur and The Writer which feature pens of different sizes and levels of artistic detail.

The Connoisseur

The Connoisseur features our most exclusive and exquisite range of pens that showcase the highest level of artistry achievable in Maki-e.

The pens are equipped with large 18K Gold nibs available in Fine, Medium and Broad nib widths. These pens are authored by the most honored and revered artists of Japanese Maki-e Art. They are true heirlooms worthy of being handed down from generation to generation.
