Estie - Nouveau Blue / Gold - Journaling (Gena Custom)

Overview

At the turn of the 19th century, the artist Alphonse Mucha was at the height of his career. A fine artist, whose name is now synonymous with the art nouveau style, the Czech Mucha came from an illustration background and became widely and commercially well-known through his advertisements for everything from chocolate to cigarettes to laundry detergent.

Nouveau Blue is the newest addition to our core range of Esterbook Estie’s celebrates the innovation of Mucha’s work and his particular shades of blue, blended into a material that reflects the celluloid of pen making past.

The Journaling nib is a custom grind for Esterbrook by Gena Salorino of the Custom Nib Studio in Los Angeles. An apprentice to nibmeister John Mottishaw, this nib is described as a "medium stub grind, based on the vintage Esterbrook 9314M nib. The idea is that it’s smooth and friendly enough for everyday use, gives your writing some flair, all without being too huge for practical writing”.

A converter and 1 ink cartridge is included with this pen and comes housed in a luxurious fabric covered pen box.

For those looking to use their vintage Esterbrook nibs, the Vintage Nib Connector will allow you to use them with this pen.
