Esterbrook Estie Regular Roller Ball Pen – Nouveau Blue

The Esterbrook Estie Nouveau Blue rollerball pen features a crackled blue resin with either gold or palladium plated trim. It was inspired by the colour pallette of art nouveau posters by Alphonse Mucha. The pen looks, to a casual glance in poor light, like a vintagey mottled dark brown colour but on closer inspection features flakes of light blue and light brown, which have a lovely pearlescent quality, seeming to blink on and off as you rotate the pen in your hands. In bright light, particularly sunlight, it is a joy to behold. It is also beautifully smooth and polished and feels lovely to hold in hand.
