Fountain Pen Limoges Box with Dark Blue Swirls
Rich dark blue swirls wind along this fountain pen made in porcelain, a writer's tool turned into a piece for the desk. Its marbled pattern was laid on by hand in Limoges, France, and it is a true Limoges box meant for display.
The Swirl of a Signature
Fountain pens have a following all their own, and the swirled barrels on vintage models are part of the appeal. This piece captures that look in porcelain, with deep blue tones that recall marbled celluloid. Since the swirls are painted by hand, each box has its own pattern.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered
A pen is a classic present for a turning point, which makes this a fitting choice for a graduation, a new job, a first book contract or a retirement. It also works well for an executive who still signs letters by hand, or a friend who keeps a stack of notebooks on the go.
Lay it across a desk blotter, set it on a bookshelf beside a journal, or group it with other pen pieces in a range of colors. On a writing desk it looks especially at home next to a real fountain pen and a bottle of ink.
