Image of Isaac Newton Limited EditionThe Conway Stewart Sir Isaac Newton Limited Edition has been created using the art of hand painting, with the cap and barrel incorporating his portrait and most famous mathematical theories.

The Conway Stewart Sir Isaac Newton is a fitting tribute to this greatest of English scientists, featuring an image depicting his huge impact on theoretical astronomy, defining the laws of motion and universal gravitation on the barrel, while the cap is adorned with the likeness of Newton himself, taken from the famous portrait by Godfrey Kneller in 1689.

William Shakespeare

Image of William Shakespeare Limited EditionThe Conway Stewart Shakespeare Limited Edition features hand painting to evoke scenes from one of his earliest theatrical triumphs, and is thought to be the classic but tragic love story.

The Conway Stewart Shakespeare is a fitting tribute to this greatest of English writers, featuring a scene from one of his most memorable works, Romeo and Juliet on the barrel, while the cap is adorned with the likeness of Shakespeare himself, taken from the famous engraving in the First Folio of Shakespeare's works.

Plymouth Pilgrims
Limited Edition

Image of Plymouth Pilgrims Limited EditionThe Conway Stewart Pilgrim Limited Edition has been created using the art of airbrush and hand painting to evoke scenes from the history of the First Pilgrim settlers.

With depictions of the coastlines of both Plymouth, where the settlers first set sail, and  Massachusetts Bay where they eventually settled framing an ocean scene of the Mayflower at sail on the cap, the Pilgrim Pen is a beautiful work of art. Additional scenes of the Massachusetts Bay Colony are painted on the barrel, showing scenes from the everyday life of the first settlers.

Both cap and barrel of the Churchill model are accented with end caps of solid Ivory Casein, and the trim is a rich gold colour, putting the final touch to this miniature masterpiece.

Karyoubinga
Limited Edition

Image of Karyoubinga Limited EditionKaryoubinga is a celestial being who plays music, dances, sings and flies through the air. She appears in many forms, often with a bird's body and an angelic head. She is depicted in Buddhist paintings, ritual robes, murals, and temple decorations.

The Conway Stewart Karyoubinga brings a wonderful traditional interpretation of an important figure form Buddhism into our modern world. Set against a backdrop of shimmering gold powder on the cap, the figure of Karyoubinga evokes feelings of lightness and harmony, perfectly in keeping with the theme. This sense of calm and soothing peace is carried through the barrel of the pen, birds and a floral motif provide a complimentary backdrop to the central figure.

Soka Monyo
Limited Edition
Image of Soka Monyo Limited EditionThe beauty of Maki-e depends on the craftsman's skills: artistic design, knowledge of traditional techniques, and the ability to tell a story through the application of art.

Artist Kogaku-san drew his inspiration for our design, 'Soka Monyo, Floral Design' from flowers throughout the season: sakura, wisteria and Japanese larch. They are displayed within geometric shapes, bordered in thick gold, using the striking contrast of black for the background.

The Soka Monyo is a wonderful symphony of art utilising abstract designs to emphasise nature's colours

English Rose
Limited Edition

Image of English Rose Limited EditionAn English Rose is unique, seductive, and enchanting with a romantic fragrance.

On a warm summer evening, a stroll in an English rose garden ranks among the best of life's experiences.

From the Rose as a symbol of our island nation's rich tapestry of history and heritage, we turn to the Conway Stewart English Rose. This is a beautiful example of the highest quality Maki-e artwork applied to our classic Churchill fountain pen. Resplendent in rich light and dark reds softly blended with gleaming layers of gold, the gently blossoming roses spring to life against the glossy black background of the cap and barrel.

Hanakui Oshidori
Limited Edition
Image of Hanakui Oshidori Limited EditionMandarin Ducks are a theme frequently featured in Oriental art. A notable characteristic of this species is intense loyalty. Pairing for life, they represent conjugal affection and fidelity in eastern art. Their presence represents balance and harmony.

Each brightly painted Mandarin Duck is clasping a long stalk with flowers. Raden inlay and gold powder are carefully used to accent both the ducks and flowers. The shimmering surface of the flowing water is detailed with gleaming gold and green.
