Maiora Ogiva Fountain Pen - Astriel (Limited Edition)
This fountain pen is made entirely of fine cellulose acetate, a one-of-a-kind material, recovered from Delta's Historic Materials Archive! It is hand turned from solid bar and comes with a fixed piston ink filling mechanism and a rose gold-plated 14k gold nib.
The beautiful design captures the depth of space with shades that change under the light: the deep blue of the night, the warm brown of nebulae, the radiant gold of rising stars and shadows as dark as the vastness of infinity.
Each limited edition pen is numbered out of 68, and is 100% handmade in Italy. The Maiora Ogiva Astriel fountain pen is only available at Goulet Pens!
