Stipula faceted Etruria Oversize fountain penStipula and Chatterley Pens continues to make it’s mark in the modern fountain pen market with this beautiful oversized Faceted limited edition fountain pen. A first for Stipula.

This pen was made in the Etruria style that has distinguished Stipula as a high quality pen manufacturer. Once again the collaboration of the minds at Chatterley Pens and Stipula apply ingenuity and style into to a blend of old world class and new age technology. This piece is considered an oversize pen, as it is larger than most of the previous Etruria’s, however it carries traditional characteristics of the Etruria line. You notice the clip, size of the nib, and the way the pen is shaped you will see the that Stipula has followed through with their commitment to their users, providing a very nice fine writing instrument.

Crafted in Firenze, the faceted Etruria features 8 sides, and a mottled green/black celluloid. This shape and style is complimented with a in-house piston filling system. The clip is made of 925 sterling silver and the cap is fixed with sterling silver rings, to accompany the 14kt gold single tone nib. This pen is a limited edition numbered 18 world wide, and is available in F, M, or 1.1 Stub, also known as italic. MSRP on this pen is $995, exclusively available through PenTime for $550.

Editors’ Thoughts

I’m awestruck by this pen! I’ve been wanting an Etruria for a long time and I love pens with facets. But there’s something about it that just doesn’t look as appealing as the standard Etruria. However, I do love the look of the multiple cap bands and moving the cap threads to the front of the section. Very, very tempting. Based solely on my great experience with the Stipula Model T, this Faceted Etruria is a pen I would certainly love to see in real life. Thankfully, there are only 18 available, so I’ll likely never see one and therefore not be tempted!

    slip cap? or threads on the end? it is awesome either way.

    I love my Etruria 991 but I’m not so sure about this one. I don’t think facets fit the Etruria model in general. I disagree with Dan on the cap rings. They come too close to the clip for my taste which gives the clip as a whole an unbalanced look. And particularly in the second photo you can clearly see how they did not succeed in placing those rings properly and evenly, which goes on account of the facets in my opinion.
    The cap threads on the front of the section are an interesting idea. I would have to see, however, if this would look as good on any other pen and whether the cap will stay securely on the pen on these few threads.

      i actually agree on this. the faceted design better fits a more column like pen like an omas paragon, or wahl doric.

    Reminds me of my Tibaldi Bononia except for the facetts. I generally dislike pens with the cap threads at the front of the section. I live in the tropics and because of the temperature differences e.g. AC rooms and hot weather outside the nib sweats. Ink creeps due to capillary action into the threads and I got tired of permanently having ink stained fingers if not everytime cleaning the threads before using the pen. The Bononia was cleaned and stowed away in my collection. I never bought a pen with cap threads at the front of the section again.
