The Ripple is a beautifully designed pen from Visconti. The ripple design is inspired by the concentric waves created when a stone is dropped into a pond, symbolizing something that invisibly surrounds us. The concept refers to the propagation of water, starting from the center and rippling outwards to the end. The pen features a blue Sterling outer body stamped with Ag925 or Sterling, surrounding a body made of “cracked ice” style acrylic. This Visconti Blue Ripple Fountain Pen is in uninked, mint condition with no wear, dings, dents, scratching, or repairs. The cap type is a “threaded” type that secures to the barrel every time.

The nib is marked Visconti with 18K/750 Medium Two-Tone Nib. The nib has a medium point measuring. 78mm when using digital calipers. I have never inked this pen and wanted to keep it in uninked, New Old Stock condition for the next owner. This Visconti uses the patented “power-fill” plunger filling system. I tested it with water and fills as it was designed. The Visconti Ripple Fountain Pen comes with a display box and the Visconti literature. That you see in the images. This Visconti Blue Sterling Ripple design is a spectacular fountain pen. It looks cool and these Visconti nibs always have smooth writing nibs. This one is in Mint, New Old Stock condition.

I strive to find unique and difficult to find pieces that I believe will capture the attention of collectors. I spend a great deal of time traveling, talking with people, sitting at auctions and waiting in line at estate sales to find these pieces. Some of the items are “farm fresh” and some I have had in my possession for years and time to let others enjoy. If I can find out, I will. These are antiques so expect them not to be “perfect”.
