AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Delta Dolce Vita Mini / Slim Rollerball – Resin Orange/Black & Ring 925 Silver (2000)
** Lot Description **
Brand: Delta (Artigiani della Scrittura)
Model: Dolce Vita Mini (Compact / Pocket / Slim)
Type: Cap-closure roller pen (screw cap)
Material: Body in treasure resin color terracotta / marbled orange, cap and end in black resin. Central band in **925 sterling silver** repoussé by hand (Greco-Roman Pompeian motif). Clip with roller and chrome/silver attributes.
Year of purchase: Circa 2000 (acquired in Paris at *Point Plume*)
Condition: Very good overall condition, very light minor signs of wear noted.
** Detailed Description **
I am offering at auction the compact variant (Mini / Slim) of the famous *Dolce Vita* from the Italian manufacturer Delta. Designed to be more nomadic while preserving the elegance and presence of the line, this model reuses the emblematic orange marbled resin cast in the mass and the pure silver 925 metalworking ring.
** History and Detailed Condition **
Bought new around 2000 from the Paris specialist *Point Plume* at the same time as the Mid-Size version also offered at the moment on this site. I did not keep the invoice.
** Aesthetic Overall **
The orange resin is bright and the silver has retained all its character. The cap screw thread works perfectly.
** Condition Details **
Note two small traces/minor light color rubbing marks on the lower black resin part of the body (visible in the close-up detailed photo).
** Contents of the sale **
- The Delta Dolce Vita Mini roller pen
- Sold alone (original box damaged and not kept).
The pen will be carefully packaged and protected in a neutral secure case for transport.
** Note about the refill **
The pen accepts roller pen refills of compact/standard format (type Schmidt Capless / Short Rollerball Refill).
A very practical everyday model, offering the unmatched charm of Italian design in a portable size that fits like a handbag and is very pleasant to write with.
**Shipping **
Carefully and securely shipped with tracking.
