Description from the seller
Delta Dolce Vita Mid-Size Rollerball – Orange/Black Resin & 925 Silver Ring – With Box (2000)
** Lot Description **
Brand: Delta (Artigiani della Scrittura)
Model: Dolce Vita Mid-Size (Medium Size)
Type: Caped rollerball pen (screw-cap)
Material: Body in precious terracotta/orange marbled resin (hand-turned from solid blocks), cap and end pieces in black resin. Central ring in hand-engraved 925 sterling silver, depicting a Greco-Roman design taken from the ruins of Pompeii. Clip equipped with its traditional pocket wheel.
Year of purchase: Circa 2000 (acquired in Paris at Point Plume)
Condition: Excellent overall cosmetic and mechanical condition
**Detailed Description:**
I am offering at auction the most emblematic pen of the Italian manufacturer Delta: the Dolce Vita rollerball in its Mid-Size version. Recognizable above all by its bright orange hue contrasted with the deep black of the cap, this instrument embodies the best of Neapolitan craftsmanship. The cap ring in 925 sterling silver, stamped, is a true piece of jewelry-making.
**History and Condition:**
Purchased new between 2000 and 2005 from the Paris specialist Point Plume (original receipt not kept).
**Aesthetic:** The pen is in excellent preservation. The resin retains all its luster and the 925 silver maintains a very beautiful patina.
**Technical Precision:** The cap features, beneath the clip, its original factory-milled micro-perforation (vent) holes. This ventilation hole is an original technical feature designed by Delta to balance air pressures upon opening and to prevent ink leakage due to depressurization.
**What’s Included in the Sale:**
* The Delta Dolce Vita Mid-Size rollerball pen
* Its original Delta box
**Note on Refills:** The pen accepts standard international roller refills (e.g., Schmidt Safety Ceramic Roller 888 or equivalent).
An essential piece of high-end Italian writing, today highly sought after since the temporary halt of the historic brand.
**Shipping:** Careful and secure shipping with tracking.
