[Sold] A Glint of Koi painted fountain pen

R6,800

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

The fountain pen bug has bitten Yulia Glas and she is now obsessed with painting our pens. (We are delighted … please no-one offer her any antidote to her new addiction!) The name of this pen, A Gllnt of Koi, refers to the collective noun for a group of Koi. And it is so apt. Yulia painted the blue background in multiple layers of alcohol inks, which give it that lovely flowing appearance, with a few sparkles that shine like bubbles, and also used chameleon pigments that change colour depending on the angle of the light.

Koi are considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity. We trust this pen will bring its owner good fortune, and we hope that some of Yulia’s bubbly vivaciousness will also rub off on the person writing with it.

Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen, however if you would like to request a custom pen from Yulia that has a similar theme you are welcome to contact us via the contact form on our website.

Nib:

Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium 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.
