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.

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.
