Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico

Etruria Magnifica Wild Honey Design: Etruscan Inspiration

Etruria Magnifica Wild Honey evokes the austere beauty of Tuscany, an ancient Etruscan land. The soft, ovoid shape is inspired by Etruscan amphorae, with stylized leaf decorations reminiscent of Etruscan art. The balance of shapes, colors, and details embodies the history of this unique land.

The Magnifica size enhances the body of the pen and its overall dimensions, which are crucial for the correct grip of the fountain pen. The oversized dimensions offer comfort during prolonged writing sessions, maintaining lightness and manageability thanks to the Italian amber resin.

Handcrafted amber resin processing

The body and cap of the Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico are crafted from Italian amber resin , hand-turned and brush-polished. The warm hue features natural grain and depth that gradually reveal themselves in the light, with nuances that vary from piece to piece.

The amber resin guarantees lightness, resistance and a warm, luminous appearance that stands out from the other variants in the collection.

Metal details: lost-wax casting and Florentine chisel

The metal details of the Etruria Magnifica Miele Selvatico are cast in bronze using the lost-wax process, following ancient Etruscan techniques, a handcrafted technique that allows for complex and detailed forms. After casting, the details are plated in 24-karat gold to ensure durability and shine.

The central band and clip are chiselled in Florentine goldsmith style, with hand-engraved stylized leaf decorations. This craftsmanship makes each piece unique and harks back to the Tuscan goldsmith tradition.

Trivalent loading with dropper included

The fountain pen offers three filling systems:

• Cartridge : International standard cartridges (included in the package)
• Converter : Plunger converter for bottled inks (included)
• Direct Filling : Full-body filling with glass dropper (included) for high ink capacity

Direct filling with a dropper allows you to exploit the entire volume of the pen's body, ensuring greater autonomy compared to cartridges and converters. This flexibility is rare in artisanal fountain pens of this price range.

Stiflex steel and 14kt gold nibs

The pen is available with steel nibs (Fine, Medium, Stub 1.1, V-Flex, T-Flex) and 14kt gold nibs (EF, F, M, B, Stub 0.9, Stub 1.1).

The steel nib is available in F, M, and Stub 1.1; or in a single V-Flex nib , a calligraphic nib with a larger cut and extremely flexible stroke. The V-Flex nib starts from an F/M stroke with light pressure, moving to a stub with just the pressure of the hand.

The 14kt gold nibs are of the Stiflex type, laminated and treated for high elastic response and tip flexibility.
Stiflex nibs are produced entirely in Florence by Stipula master pen makers, using early-century Italian equipment. Each nib is individually fine-tuned and hand-tested, ensuring artisanal quality control for every piece.
