Just as the tactile quality of the paper plays a part in the letter-writing experience, so too does the writing instrument itself. With Meissen fountain pens and rollerballs, every word written is like a meditative pause, the antithesis to typing on a laptop or thumbing into a smartphone.

Meissen writing instruments combine both practical design and an appreciation for everyday beauty, juxtaposing porcelain with equally premium materials like platinum and yellow or white gold to create a pleasing heft in the hand. Like the “Mascara” fountain pen in pure, clean white, contrasted with black or pure gold decorative elements on the shaft and cap, or in the “Geometric Gold” variant with all-over geometric applications in 18-carat gold. The rollerball is available in pure porcelain white as well as with electrifying “Mesh Platinum” design. Combining timeless aesthetics with more than 300 years of craftsmanship, Meissen writing instruments are collectors’ items for eternity.
