[Sold] Phoenix Old & New fountain pen
This pen has the most amazing golden-orange-flame shimmer. It really looks as if it glows from within. Kseniia Nel has painted two phoenix birds, representing the old and the new. According to mythology, only one phoenix is alive at a time, and can easily live to 500 years or more. When the time comes to die, it builds a pyre and bursts into flame. The new phoenix rises from the fire, and is even more spectacular than the one before it. The phoenix is seen to represent the cycle of life and rebirth, renewal, the emergence of something beautiful from pain and loss.
Kseniia’s magnificent phoenixes are painted against a lustrous gold-copper-bronze background that shimmers as it catches the light. We have paired it with an patinaed orange section, with our logo medallion in silver, and a silver cap band and section ring.
Kseniia has painted our pens in a wide variety of styles and is happy to consider requests for commissions, so if you would like to suggest a particular theme, please let us know via the contact form.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.

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.
