[Sold] Great Expectations fountain pen
R11,500
Hanna Farmer has managed to include many iconic images from Great Expectations, the classic novel by Charles Dickens, on the tiny surface of this fountain pen. There is Pip in the graveyard; apprenticing as a blacksmith with Joe; Estella giving Pip a stolen kiss; Magwitch visiting Pip in London; Miss Havisham’s wedding cake covered in cobwebs and spiders; and the recurrent image of rising mists that symbolise his gradual development of self-knowledge. Hanna has even managed to write several quotes including Estella’s, “I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.”
The pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, painted and zendoodled by Hanna then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polished, and buffed. It has a silver cap band, section ring, and silver logo medallion in the cap finial, and we have added a smoky-green section.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art, hence no-one else will ever own an identical pen.
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 relatively wide girth of 16 mm (0,6″) narrowing to a 10,5 mm (0,4″) grip section. It has our logo on the finial, and the finial is ever-so-slightly rounded, rather than dead flat, which adds to the pen’s elegance.
