AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elisir "Pearl Grey" – A Rare Jewel in Historic Celluloid

The **Elisir "Glittering Blue"** is a writing instrument unlike any other – a masterpiece born from one of the rarest materials in fine craftsmanship: genuine celluloid. With its shimmering blue marbling and luminous depth, this pen exudes a sense of timeless elegance and artistry.

Celluloid is not only prized for its beauty, but also for the difficulty it presents. Once the gold standard for luxury pens, it is incredibly hard to work with. The curing process alone can take up to **two years**, and only the most skilled artisans are capable of shaping, polishing, and finishing it to perfection. Highly flammable, unstable in raw form, and no longer manufactured anywhere in the world, celluloid is now virtually extinct in the pen industry.

**Montegrappa is the only brand in the world with a reserve of original celluloid**, carefully stored over generations in its historic workshop in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. This makes every celluloid creation not just a pen, but a piece of living history.

What makes the **Elisir "Pearl Grey" even more extraordinary is its exclusivity: **these pens have never been released to the public market before.** To own one is to acquire a part of Montegrappa’s most secret and prestigious legacy.

By bidding on this pen, you are not simply purchasing a writing instrument – you are entering into the rarest circle of Montegrappa collectors, securing a treasure that may never be available again.

Ships same day via express carriers for reliable delivery.

Please note: For all pens without a reserve price, we do not offer combined shipping.
