Ebonite fountain pen with 18 ct. JOWO gold nib.
The lacquer called "mokume-gane-nuri", a lacquer that imitates mokume gane.
Mokume-gane (木目金 Mokumegane) is a Japanese metalworking procedure which produces a mixed-metal laminate with distinctive layered patterns. Mokume gane translates closely to "wood grain metal" or "wood eye metal", describing the way the metal takes on the appearance of natural wood grain.
The lacquer is achieved by applying several layers of lacquer saturated with different metal powders like copper, brass, iron and tin.
