Concopens Vietnamese Lacquer Fountain Pen – Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam Edition

A Vietnamese Lacquer Fountain Pen That Carries the Spirit of Vietnam

Inspired by Khuê Văn Các at Văn Miếu – Quốc Tử Giám, the timeless symbol of knowledge and Hanoi’s rich scholarly heritage, this Vietnamese lacquer fountain pen celebrates the beauty, culture, and soul of Vietnam. Each pen is adorned with graceful lotus blossoms and the familiar image of the stork, creating a poetic scene that reflects Vietnamese countryside life and traditional aesthetics. Handcrafted using authentic Vietnamese Son Mai lacquer art, every piece transforms a fine writing instrument into a cultural collectible that honors Vietnam National Day and the nation’s artistic legacy.

Every detail of this handcrafted Vietnamese lacquer fountain pen is created by skilled artisans using traditional Son Mai techniques that have been preserved and refined over centuries. Multiple layers of natural Tam Nong lacquer resin (Sơn Ta Tâm Nông) are patiently applied, dried, and polished to achieve deep, luminous colors and a smooth, glass-like finish. This time-honored process not only protects the precious Vietnamese hardwood body – crafted from Ebony (Mun), Rosewood (Trac), Dalbergia (Cam), and Agarwood (Huong) – but also enhances the intricate lotus and stork motifs, making each pen a refined representation of Vietnamese heritage and craftsmanship.

Produced in an exceptionally limited quantity, this Vietnam National Day Special Edition is more than a fountain pen – it is a collectible art piece from Vietnam designed for discerning fountain pen enthusiasts and art collectors worldwide. Each lacquer fountain pen is individually finished, so no two pieces are exactly alike. For collectors of fine writing instruments, admirers of Asian lacquerware, or anyone who appreciates Vietnamese culture, this pen offers a rare opportunity to own a tangible expression of national pride and artistic heritage.
