This Aogai Raden Urushi Straight Pen Holder by Huy Hoang Dao is an absolute museum-worthy piece. It represents two time honored forms of fine art — the highly revered Japanese lacquer art called Urushi and Heritage Calligraphy.
Raden is a decorative Urushi technique that uses mother of pearl to inlay. For this pen holder, Hoang used Aogai (blue abalone) and for the wood part, he opted for Japanese Cherry.
