Mezuzah fountain pen - Italian production

Jewish-style pen by Urso with Star of David 

The Urso brand was founded in 1985. For nearly 30 years, it has been one of the leading manufacturers producing exclusive writing instruments worldwide.

The pen we present to you is part of the Mezuzah collection. What does the collection name mean?

The clip of this extraordinary pen is a replica of a mezuzah. Mezuzah (Hebrew: מזוזה, from the doorpost, doorframe) – in Judaism, a small container made of wood, metal, or glass, holding a rolled parchment with two passages from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13-21). The parchment is rolled from the left side so that when unrolled, the text can be read immediately from the beginning. The rolled parchment is marked with letters to indicate the top and bottom. It often also contains the word Shaddai (Hebrew: שדי, Almighty). This text is also part of the Shema prayer. Only a qualified scribe (sofer) is authorized to write the text on the parchment — only then is the mezuzah kosher. Some Jewish factions or emigrant Jews treat mezuzah as a talisman with protective functions, but it is important to emphasize that its purpose is entirely different. The Talmud states that the mezuzah is one of the seven commandments given by God to Israel out of love, and it should be treated accordingly.

Mezuzah is hung on doorframes or entrances of Jewish religious homes at a depth of one hand as a literal fulfillment of the commandment given by JHWH. It should be placed at the entrance door, tilted, on the right side, at two-thirds height. It must be affixed permanently, preferably nailed. The written parchments are checked periodically for damage. In homes, this is done twice every seven years; in public places, once every fifty years. One can live in a room without a mezuzah for up to 30 days. Its placement is preceded by a blessing.

The collections created by Italian masters can confidently be called jewels for writing. Handcrafted and engraved in solid gold and silver, equipped with hard enamel and gemstones, they are luxury in themselves. The pens and pencils are made by master jewelers, which is why Urso products are both writing instruments and jewelry in design and appearance.

Exclusive office accessories make a wonderful addition to a desk decor, a gift for a director, or a luxurious present for high-level business meetings.
