David Oscarson Marriage of the Waters Rollerball Pen - Azure Blue

Limited to 80 legendary pieces available worldwide

The Carl Milles Marriage of the Waters Collection is a celebration of David Oscarson’s wedding anniversary to his wife Veronica (who provided all of the line art for the Milles collection), the 20th anniversary of their company and a direct connection from their home in St. Louis to Milles’ home in Stockholm where the Oskarsson family originally lived and where Oscarson spent most of his youth.

Unique to the Milles collection is the merging of two colors of hot enamel, which usually requires an outlined border of silver as different colors require different temperatures of kiln-firing. Also unique to this collection is the meandering current of the double-lined diamond-cut guilloche pattern underneath the enamel that captures the essence of merging waters, much like the Mississippi and Missouri where they meet in St. Louis.

Atop the cap of the Milles pen in translucent white enamel is the symbol of the St. Louis city flag, depicting the merging of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. At the bottom of the barrel is the symbol of Stockholm’s city flag, connecting the two great cities as Milles did with the Marriage of the Waters fountain. Milles’ signature is engraved on the gripping section of each Collection piece.

The Carl Milles Collection thirty-second in the David Oscarson™ series of Limited Edition writing instruments and will be produced in four primary design variations; each limited to production of 80 pieces (including fountain pens and roller balls), representing the 80 legendary years of Carl Milles’ innovative and creative life.
