Porcelain Fountain Pen Limoges Box in Green Swirl

Green and blue swirls wind along the barrel of this porcelain fountain pen, a desk classic reimagined as a hand-painted Limoges box from Limoges, France. It is purely decorative, so it holds no ink and will never write a word, but it says plenty about the person who keeps it.

Mightier Than the Sword

The fountain pen has long stood for letters, signatures and slow, careful writing. Turning one into porcelain makes it a small tribute to the written word, and the marbled swirls echo the look of a treasured old pen.

Ink Without the Blots

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a writing, office or stationery themed collection
• Pairs with inkwell, book and letter shaped boxes

Penned for the Writer

Lay it across a desk blotter, beside a stack of notebooks or on a library shelf. It suits a novelist finishing a first draft, a teacher retiring after years of grading papers, a new graduate, or anyone who still sends handwritten thank-you notes.

Collectors of office and profession themed pieces often look for writing subjects, and this swirled pen stands out from the usual books and quills.
