The same Waterford renowned for its crystal glassware also produces pens with the same timeless elegance. The high quality pens are made in the UK. Its wide bullet-shape design has a comfortable feel in the hand. The body is a translucent dark blue resin and is accented with palladium. It has the Waterford outer box. There's another inner sleeve, but it's gone into hiding. I will wrap it in something very soft yet protective and send it in the Waterford box in the photo. Serious pen collectors choose fountain pens, but because I like to use them often and do not care for ink ending up on my clothes, I buy ballpoints. It has a new black ink cartridge.
