Candy Choc Worx fountain pen
ZAR9,500.00
Did you love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl? And do you have a soft spot for candy (or chocolate as it is known here and in the UK.) If so, you are going to love this pen. It was inspired not just by the story, but by original illustrations drawn by H. Goff in 1969 in black marker and pencil on tracing paper. These were used by Paramount in the first Charlie film that starred Gene Wildere as Willy Wonker. Hanna Farmer has gone back to those early drawings and given her interpretation of the Great Gum Machine, The S S Wonkatania (Wonker’s steampunk boat), and the fantastical workings of the steampunk machines, complete with tiny Oompa Loompas. Hanna is well known for creating wonderful scenes in miniature on our pens, and here she has outdone herself by drawing an entire chocolate factory!
We have added a chocolate brown grip section that Lana created speciicially for this fountain pen. In addition, this pen has a silver cap band, section ring and logo embedded in the cap finial.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is an original work of art. You are more than welcome to contact us with a request for a commissioned fountain pen by Hanna in a unique theme of your own.
Nib:
Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine or Broad at the check-out.
The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
