CYLINT fountain pen patina

Patina

A metal coloring design that allows you to enjoy the different expressions of each piece, which are made by hand.
Patterns that magically appear on the surface of the metal.
The artisan's unique technique of using his hands and imagination to create ever-changing expressions on metal results in original colors that cannot be found anywhere else.
This brown patina is called a mottled peacock finish, a color that was born through a series of coincidences, and its mottled pattern has a beauty reminiscent of a peacock.
There are no other similar patterns on each piece, making it a one-of-a-kind writing instrument.

The lid and body are painted with a mottled peacock color, a technique used to color metal.
The characteristics of corrosion and rust are artificially created on the surface of metal materials, creating a unique texture and color.

The colors of metal coloring, which are born from traditional techniques that have a history of over 400 years in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, and new technologies that are constantly being researched, give metals a colorful and expressive appearance.
The brown patina used this time, known as the mottled peacock color, is a unique color inspired by the traditional coloring technique of "sugar burning" among metal coloring colors.
By controlling chemicals and flames, the brass is given vivid colors through chemical reactions.
The metallic coloring is applied by hand one by one, and cannot be produced by painting. This is a traditional coloring technique that could only be achieved through casting. By developing this technique and succeeding in coloring thin copper plates less than 1 mm thick, it became possible to apply the coloring to this writing instrument.
The colours created by the metal colouring will develop a more textured feel with use, just like wearing denim.

Handling Precautions
If dirt is noticeable, wipe with a damp cloth wrung out tightly, then wipe dry and be sure to store in a dry state.
Moisture on the product may cause corrosion or discoloration. Also, organic solvents such as alcohol or vinegar may cause discoloration.
If the surface is scratched by rubbing or other factors, oxidation will progress from that area, causing verdigris, rust, and discoloration.
Brass coloring is characterized by the fact that it changes over time, and this change is one of the characteristics of the material that you can enjoy. Therefore, we will not accept returns or exchanges due to the formation of verdigris, rust, or discoloration that occurs during use or storage.
