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 comes from 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 doorpost, doorframe) – in Judaism, a small container made of wood, metal, or glass, holding a rolled parchment with two Torah passages (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21). The parchment is rolled from left to right so that the text can be read immediately when unrolled. The rolled parchment is marked with letters to indicate the top and bottom. It often also contains the word Shaddai (Hebrew: Almighty). This text is also part of the Shema prayer. Only a qualified scribe (sofer) may write the text on the parchment — only then is the mezuzah kosher. Some Jewish factions or emigrant Jews treat the mezuzah as a talisman with protective functions, but 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 hand depth as a literal fulfillment of the commandment given by JHWH. It should be placed at the main entrance, tilted, on the right side, at about two-thirds height. It must be fixed permanently, preferably nailed. The written parchments are checked periodically for damage. In homes, this is done every seven years; in public places, once every fifty years. You 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, so Urso products are both writing instruments and jewelry in design and appearance.

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