From the base of the barrel a hatching egg and shell fragments rise in white or opalescent enamel; three ducklings and their footprints are engraved in low relief where the clear water meets the duckyard, with the young cygnet set a little higher. Outlined in high relief, the mature swan is featured in guilloché and hot enamel with its reflection mirrored below over a rippled-water pattern. The clip is a cracking egg and the crown carries H.C. Andersen's signature. This roller ball is finished in Azure, Copper \u0026amp; White with polished .925 sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: #8C6F4E;\"\u003eTHE CRAFT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eHand-crafted from .925 sterling silver. Each component passes through multiple stages of precision engraving to create the guilloché pattern, then hard enamel — glass, water and metal oxides ground by hand with a mortar and pestle — is applied with a quill, kiln-fired at over 1,000 °F, filed back by hand with a diamond file and fired again until the enamel fills every valley of the engraving. The pieces are then polished and buffed to the velvet finish of true translucent hard enamel. A five-year apprenticeship is required to master the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: #8C6F4E;\"\u003eTHE COLLECTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eThe Hans Christian Andersen Collection is the 38th in the David Oscarson series of Limited Edition writing instruments.
