At the dawn of the 18th century, a new art form emerged in
china. The process was called inside (reverse) painting. Clear snuff bottles were hand painted from the inside out, which yielded some of most prized
collectibles that the world has ever seen. Monteverde brings the process to their latest series of limited edition pens - the Mega Inside-Out. The meticulous
work is completely done by hand. Highly gifted artists take at least 72 hours to complete each part with a specially designed, hand-made, hooked paint brush
specifically designed for these pens. Since the painting is completely done by hand, no two pens are exactly alike.
Each pen is considered to be an
original masterpiece and is numbered in sequence. Only 395 of each of the first 3 designs will be produced ("the Tiger", "the Great Wall", and "Flowers
and Birds'). Each painting is also sealed from the inside to protect it from interior scratches. The parts are hand-assembled and brilliantly presented in
an exclusive gift box.
