Celluloid fountain pen: a tribute to the history of 1936

The Nettuno Superba Jade represents a faithful reissue of one of the Italian brand's most iconic models: the original 1936 vintage fountain pen. This historic model embodied the elegance and refinement of the golden age of writing, when every pen was an object of prestige and craftsmanship. The contemporary version retains the charm of the original design, with tapered lines and harmonious proportions that recall the Art Deco aesthetic , enriching it with modern writing technologies.

Crafted from jade green celluloid with black veining, this fountain pen offers a unique visual depth. The opalescent celluloid captures and reflects light beautifully, creating a play of colors that makes each piece unique. The deep black Italian resin barrel and cap create an elegant contrast with the gold-tone trim, while the piston filling system ensures exceptional battery life.

Technical features of the Superba Jade fountain pen

The nib is available in two versions: 14-karat gold or gold-plated steel , both available in various sizes (EF, F, M, B, Stub) to suit every writing style. The finish of the nib echoes the elegance of the gold finishes on the body, creating a perfect aesthetic harmony. The filling system has been optimized to ensure a constant and uniform flow of ink, an essential feature for those who use a celluloid fountain pen of this quality on a daily basis.

The gold clip completes the pen's elegant design. The dimensions are perfectly balanced: approximately 140mm closed, 165mm open, with a 14mm diameter that makes it comfortable for extended writing sessions. The balanced weight distributes pressure optimally, reducing hand fatigue.

Handcrafted celluloid: a precious material for high-quality fountain pens

The celluloid used for this limited edition is handcrafted in Italy. This material, prized by collectors for its beauty and durability, requires months of curing and manual processing. Unlike modern synthetic resins, celluloid offers unparalleled color depth and a pleasant tactile sensation. Each block of celluloid features unique grain patterns, making each Nettuno Superba celluloid fountain pen a one-of-a-kind piece.

For those seeking other high-quality celluloid pens , the Nettuno collection offers several color variations, all characterized by the same attention to detail and quality construction. Working with celluloid requires craftsmanship passed down through generations, a skill that Nettuno has proudly preserved since 1911. A celluloid fountain pen represents a lasting investment, capable of maintaining its beauty unaltered over time.

Nettuno 1911: Italian tradition in the production of celluloid fountain pens

Nettuno , founded in 1911, boasts over a century of experience in producing high-end writing instruments. The Superba Jade fits perfectly into the brand's philosophy: respect for tradition combined with technical innovation. Each celluloid fountain pen is assembled and tested by hand in the Italian laboratory, where expert craftsmen personally oversee every stage of production.

Celluloid

Celluloid, invented in 1856, is a naturally occurring material obtained from nitrocellulose and camphor. It became the preferred material for fountain pens from the 1920s to the 1950s due to its color brilliance and ink resistance.

Today it is extremely rare: very few artisans survive, mainly in Italy, working on a very small scale with maturing times of up to six years. This scarcity makes celluloid an elite material for luxury fountain pens.
