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.

The 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 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.

The pen exhibiting the best Maki-e artistry; Maki-e encompasses a number of lacquer-working techniques originating in Asia

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.
