Onoto William Shakespeare Vermeil Fountain Pen

The Onoto William Shakespeare Vermeil Fountain Pen is the most luxurious of a luxury range of pens, produced as a very limited-edition tribute to the Bard of Avon, made by Onoto’s craftsmen and -women from hallmarked sterling silver plated with 23 carat gold.

The Onoto William Shakespeare Vermeil Fountain Pen has a distinctive and striking barrel made of gold-plated sterling silver. The cap includes the clip featuring the Onoto cipher and chevrons that are a famous feature of their pens. The top of the cap features a portrait of Shakespeare himself, and the cap band bears a facsimile of his signature.

The barrel and cap are engine turned in an elegant barleycorn pattern, leaving a plain panel on the barrel for the trade-mark engraving of “ONOTO the PEN” and “Made in England“.

As with all the luxury fountain pens in their range, the Onoto William Shakespeare Vermeil Fountain Pen is fitted with the Onoto number 7 nib (which is 8.4mm at the widest), in this case in 18-carat gold as standard. The nib is available in Fine, Medium and Broad, but for an additional fee, Onoto will fit the pen with a hand-ground nib to almost any possible profile you wish. If you choose the option, we will contact you to determine your exact requirements.

The Onoto William Shakespeare Varmeil Fountain Pen is a well balanced and solid to hold, as it weighs (empty) nearly 100 grams.

This pen can also be supplied with a rollerball conversion kit in gold-plated sterling silver. This is in addition to the fountain pen nib, allowing to change your pen to a rollerball simply by unscrewing one tip from the barrel (as you would to replace the cartridge) and screwing in the other.

Note that the Onoto William Shakespeare Vermeil Fountain Pen is part of a limited edition of only 8 fountain pens.
