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

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” —Jacques Cousteau

Timelessness takes time. So it is with the coveted coastal treasures known as sea glass that wash ashore during low tides all over the world. 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 giving them their characteristically smooth, frosted texture.

Beaches along the Northwestern shores of the United States can be found teeming with these heirlooms and artifacts of whisky and spirits, trinkets, medicine bottles, dinnerware, jam jars, old taillights, and, if fortune finds you, a piece of an antique ink bottle.

The Estie Sea Glass was introduced to celebrate the shores of Esterbrook’s birthplace. Made of turned, highly polished acrylic marbled together from all the colors of sea glass one might find, the fountain pen features a stainless-steel JOWO nib and matching gold-plated clip that slides easily into one's shirt pocket. In addition, the cushion-cap closure provides a secondary seal to ensure a wet point every time you start to write.

The Button Fill Estie is a unique version of our popular Estie fountain pen, designed with a built-in filling system that holds more ink than your typical cartridge or converter. This system allows you to store ink directly inside the pen, so you can write longer without needing to refill as often.

How does it work?
It's simple! Just follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the back end of the pen barrel.
2. Submerge the nib in your ink bottle.
3. Press the button a few times to pump and fill the pen with ink.

And that's it! The Button Fill system not only makes the pen easy to use but also allows for a larger ink capacity, ensuring you're always ready to write.

With its innovative design and larger ink reservoir, the Button Fill Estie is perfect for those who love a smooth, uninterrupted writing experience.

Note: The Techo nib will be available on this model but due to the bespoke nature of this nib, there may be a delay of up to 4 weeks (for Gold). We have a limited stock of silver Techo nibs, but a delay may occur for these as well.
