"Behold this fair goblet, Twas carved from the tree,
Which O my sweet Shakespeare, was planted by Thee;
As a relic I kiss it, and bow at the shrine;
What comes from thy hand must be ever divine."
Which O my sweet Shakespeare, was planted by Thee;
As a relic I kiss it, and bow at the shrine;
What comes from thy hand must be ever divine."
And on went David Garrick, the famous Shakespearean actor in 1764, for eight more stanzas, comparing all other grades of wood to 'The Mulberry.' He speaks, of course, of the famous Mulberry Tree that Shakespeare, himself, planted at his home in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. Krone has procured a piece of this same tree and has gracefully embedded it upon the mighty tool of Shakepeare’s trade, the pen.
William Shakespeare is the embodiment of pen and ink. He is the most quotable and most quoted.
The pen is handcrafted from a deep regal purple celluloid with an 18kt. gold and .925 sterling silver overlay. On one side of the overlay is an inlaid vignette of Shakespeare designed in Elizabethan motif and the opposite of it is a mulberry tree design with an authenticated piece of Shakespeare’s Mulberry Tree inset into the overlay. The cap bears Shakespeare's signature and family crest. The sterling silver edition was limited to only 388.
The pen comes equipped with a Medium nib.
