Monteverde Artista Crystal: Turquoise Demonstrator Fountain Pen - Retired

The marvelously delicate, translucent color of the Monteverde Artista Crystal Fountain Pen is manufactured to the highest standards from quality acrylic resin and is hand polished inside and out. The pen is then highlighted with plated accents of super-bright chrome. The vivid candy colors take me back to the eighties and will bring a touch of fun to your everyday writing. As an added bonus, the lime green color is so bright, you should have no trouble finding that "missing" pen on a messy desk. The cap is threaded for ease of opening and closing and while this pen can be posted, please note that the threads can easily damage the barrel when used this way.

  • USA Seller - comes from a smoke-free home

    Color & Nib Disclaimer

  • Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, tablets, and browsers, the item's color may appear differently on different screens as they are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the internet is not precise. Since it is not possible to guarantee the online colors will look the same on all devices, I do not guarantee that what you see accurately portrays the color of the actual item. If you are unsure or have any questions prior to purchasing, please feel free to message me.
  • I photographed a single pen for each color from the Artista Series, so when you receive your pen, you may notice it has a different number on the feed section from the one in the photo. This number correlates to the mold slot number and bears no significance to the way in which the pen works.
  • As it is difficult to capture metals correctly, please note that the nibs match the trims in brightness, which is shown in the first image. The other images do not have the right amount of light and may appear darker than they truly are.

    • Condition

    The Monteverde Artista Crystal Demonstrator Fountain Pen listed here is categorized as 'New Old Stock'. In my case, this means that the product was purchased more than 9 years ago as a store stock item that was never sold to a customer, but it is still new in original packaging and has never been used. Some of my merchandise may not be manufactured anymore, so the new old stock may represent the only current source of this particular item.

    Quality Control

    I actively worked in the Fine Writing Industry for over 15 years, first as a manager for a local pen business, both in store and online, then later as the owner/operator of a small online shop. In that time, I learned that Quality Control is a very important aspect of the business. Therefore, I always make sure the customer is receiving their product in the best possible condition. I open every box and test the mechanism, caps, and refills to ensure no issues exist. If I am unsure that a refill will last then I will say as much in the description. In the case of fountain pens, I do check the nibs, but I will not test them with ink as I want the shipping process to go as smoothly as possible.
