FOUNTAINS OF WISDOM

The fountain pen has been mass-produced since the first half of the 19th century. Throughout the 20th century, the design underwent a number of innovations, including the use of replaceable and refillable ink cartridges, while materials used range from plastic, metal and wood. Today, fountain pens have undergone a resurgence as people rediscover their classic beauty – with sales increasing, particularly in the prestige category.
