1) Green Matcha color
2) Asuka brown color
3) Black tenmoku color
4) Viloet Ebine touran
5) Blue Imari color.

These all colors have color history inspired from the Silk Road.

Why to use handmade vintage style Eye dropper fountain pens?

I got these vintage style eye dropper fountain pens after a long time from Indian Subcontinent. I love their beautiful color. There are bright and colorful. They have a small window at the barrel which are not very clear as they all are handmade fountain pens.
The nib is great and writes a medium as per Western Standards.

Why to use Eye dropper fountain pens?

1) The eye dropper system is a vintage system which was the base of the writing instrument and this is how the fountain pens were born

2) This filling system can use lot of ink with great ink flow

3) A very Eco-friendly pen, as no need to use the cartridges and converters and make the waste debris.

I have some pens on sale on ebay. Please have a look over it Exotic Vintage style Fountain pen

Why should we use Fountain pens??



  This question has been popped in our head many times, isnt it? Especially when the world has new technology and greater techniques of disposable ballpoint pens at reasonable cost.
Is the new technology making us forget our old fountain pens?? our old writing instruments??
Certainly, many people have gave up on using fountain pens over the ballpoint pens. This is really a sad news.

Here are some reasons we should not forget about fountain pens:

1) No ballpoint pen can compare the wet look of the ink, and smooth writing of the fountain pen

2) The handwriting improves and looks much better than the ballpoint pen written writing.

3) A great instrument for calligraphers and i love calligraphy whether it is arabic, italic, japanese it looks wonderful

4) The feeling and pleasure of writing.

5) Trying different liquid inks  btw. I love the smell of the inks.

6) Writing at different strokes and angles like shaping the writing.

There are many other several reasons for using fountain pens. These reasons doesnot makes the ballpoint look worse. ballpoint pens are also nice to write but it is just fountain pens special.

So dont hesitate start writing by fountain pens, dont worry of getting your hands dirty.
It is bit trouble some to use at start but once you get use to it, it is like a piece of cake.
