Esterbrook Estie Sea Glass with Gold Trim - Fountain Pen (Button Piston)

ESTIE SEA GLASS. "The sea once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." -Jacques Cousteau. Timeless takes time. And so it is with the coveted coastal treasures that wash ashore during low tides all over the world, known as sea glass. Shaped over many sunrises and sunsets, these bits of colored glass drift for as many as two hundred years, weathering storms in the salt water, tossing and turning. Mother Nature's own polishing that gives them their characteristically smooth, frosted texture. The shores along the Northeastern USA beaches can be found teeming with these heirlooms and artifacts of whiskey and spirits, trinkets, medicine bottles, dinnerware, jam jars, old taillights and if fortune finds you, a piece of an antique ink bottle. First used decoratively at the turn of the last century, beachcombers seek out these little gems giving credence to the statement that one man's trash is another man's treasure. A bounty of colors ranging from amber to green, black to pale pink to the rarest turquoise blue, making sea glass a highly collectible commodity. To celebrate the nearby shores of Esterbrook's birthplace, we present the Sea Glass as the newest Estie in their Core Range, as a permanent part of the Estie lineup.
