Lighthouse hand-painted fountain pen
ZAR7,500.00
Renée Gerstner is an artist who lives near the sea and is well known for her charming paintings of penguins, whales, seabirds, a penguin riding a bicycle (!), beach scenes, and now this lighthouse. In miniature. She has taken to painting fountain pens as if she had been doing it for years. We love her clean uncluttered lines, her gradation of colour from blue to sunshine yellow, and the sheer happiness that beams out of this painting. Lana mixed a custom resin in kapow-red that matches the red at the top of the lighthouse and the flag atop the yacht’s mast.
Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. If you would like to request a custom pen from Renée, you are welcome to contact us via the contact form on our website.

Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.
The Jabulani model
SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
