Hi, folks!

 

This is a shot I took for our store when we still had these pens available. I always liked the purple one and they all were very photogenic pens.

Waterford Marquis Arista Prism Purple Fountain Pen, c2005-2007. The Marquis by Waterford Arista Prism Purple fountain pen cap, barrel, and section was machine turned from a striking swirled purple and white resin and accented with highly polished chrome plated trim. Each pen was fitted with a Schmidt stainless steel nib, and most nibs were stamped "Iridium Tip Germany," some had the Schmidt logo. Uses international ink cartridges or converter. A very light weight pen, but full size, at 5 1/4 inches long. Retailed for $75. Matching rollerball ($60) and ballpoint ($50) pens were made. Also came in mocha, caramel, and rainbow resin. Were discontinued and closed out in 2008.

 

Thanks!

That's a beautiful pen & IMO, if the nib were shinier it would look perfect. I would have bought one "back in the day" if I'd known about it. Thanks for sharing PenHero.

Thanks for sharing! Very cool-looking material.

Thanks! The nib is actually much less shiny than the trim.

That pen looks awesome!!! In fact I prefer that nib finish that shinier.

 

Now how about telling us how it behaves? I've read so many bad reviews for Waterford pens but I actually like them and would really like to buy one, I think your experience might be the turning point to finally buying it or forget this idea for good.

 

Cheers.

My impression is they wrote very nicely. Every time they became available, they sold out quickly. They are gone for sure now.
