Visconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen – Crystal Dream (Double Reservoir)Extra-Fine

SkyLightWindows

Two ‘Skylight‘ viewing windows enable the user a view of the flowing ink within the interior of the pen:

• A large window cut into the pens barrel offering a view of stored ink in the larger ink reservoir (trimmed in natural bronze)
• A smaller window behind the pen’s grip offering a view of stored ink in the pens second smaller ink reservoir

How it Works

The body of the pen is divided into two ink reservoirs, one larger in the pens barrel and one smaller behind the pens nib. When writing with the pen ink is used from the small reservoir, when ink runs out the user then transfers ink from the larger back-up reservoir to continue writing. Essentially, the larger reservoir acts as a portable ‘bottle of ink’ inside the pen. The two reservoirs are separated by a cut-off valve, when it is open ink can then move freely from one reservoir to the other:
