# PELIKAN Souveran M600 Fountain Pen - Art Collection #3 - Georg Tippel (Special Edition)

## The third in the M600 Art Collection

The Pelikan Souverän Art Collection continues with the release of the third in the series, the M600 Georg Tippel. Drawing from Tippel’s 1899 _Grundfarben_ artwork, the barrel features cloud motifs created using the stunning guilloche engraving and Aurora printing process of the earlier pens. The result is a holographic effect that plays with the light as the pen is moved. The colour palette is a mix of browns, with muted blue, and a translucent brown grip and cap. Together these elements create a pen that celebrates historical design in a very desirable form.

## What sets it apart

-   Inspired by Georg Tippel’s 1899 _Grundfarben_ poster from Pelikan’s first art competition
-   Decorative sleeve features reinterpreted cloud motifs from the original artwork
-   Guilloché engraved and lacquered metal barrel creates weight, depth and movement
-   14k gold nib, smooth, expressive, and consistent
-   Piston filling system with large ink capacity for extended writing

### How it makes you feel

This pen feels closely connected to Pelikan’s history and design heritage. The visual language creates a sense of continuity, linking early artistic expression with contemporary pen design. In the hand, as with the earlier Art Series models, we expect a heavier barrel, and a dynamic visual appeal that changes as the pen moves during writing.

### Who it’s for

-   Collectors drawn to limited editions 
-   Writers who value storytelling in their tools
-   Pelikan M600 enthusiasts seeking a special edition
-   M800 users who are already familiar with more heft

### Who it’s not for

-   Users who prefer minimalist or understated designs
-   Those seeking lightweight or entry level pens
-   Writers who prefer cartridge or converter systems
-   Buyers interested in pen function over collectability

### Practical tips

-   Store in a pen case to protect the lacquered surface
