Dragon and his dragonfly fountain pen
ZAR6,500.00
Yulia Glas’s choice for painting her favourite creature on our new Intwana model is not just one creature, but two: she chose a dragon, and naturally she had to include his best friend … a dragonfly. Against a sky-blue background and a shimmery silver moon, the dragon is perched with his wings slightly open and his magnificent tail flexed, while his dragonfly friend flits around nearby.
The Intwana model (Intwana is Xhosa for Smaller one) is slightly thinner and shorter than our Jabulani model. It has a total length (closed) of 146 mm (5,7”), a barrel diameter (at the widest point) of 14,5mm (0,6”) and a narrow grip section diameter (9,9mm (0,4”) at its narrowest point). It has a 2-start thread so it opens and closes in just over a single turn. The trim is a bronze cap band and section ring, a gold-plated clip, and our logo finial in silver, surrounded by a bronze ring, embedded in the cap finial.
In addition to the painting on the barrel, the pen has alternating sky-blue and navy-blue colours on the cap, barrel, finials and grip section.
As each pen will be hand-painted once it has been ordered, the estimated delivery time for this pen is about 4 – 5 weeks.
