Esterbrook Estie Regular Fountain Pen – Nouveau Blue CT

The Esterbrook Estie Nouveau Bleu fountain pen features a crackled blue resin with either gold or chrome plated trim, in regular or oversize. it was inspired by the colour pallette of art nouveau posters by Alphonse Mucha. The pen looks, to a casual glance in poor light, like a vintagey mottled dark brown colour but on closer inspection features flakes of light blue and light brown, which have a lovely pearlescent quality, seeming to blink on and off as you rotate the pen in your hands. In bright light, particularly sunlight, it is a joy to behold. It is also beautifully smooth and polished and feels lovely to hold in hand.
