The first pen has dried ink stuck on the barrel and the ink bottle is missing. The resin on the second pen has faded in a minuscule area so it appears clear and white (see picture below). All sales on this item are final; no refunds or exchanges. Vincent Van Gogh is considered one of the most important painters in art history. Inspired by the famous artist, Visconti re-imagined his colors, textures, and emotions to create their world-famous Van Gogh collection. The collection is a tribute to the impressionist art movement and is now a Visconti icon around the world. Made from natural resin, uniquely mixed to represent the palettes of oil paint Van Gogh used to paint his masterpieces, the pen collection features Visconti’s eighteen-faceted design which enhances their vivid colors. The meticulous selection of resins and their color mix is one of the major innovations introduced by the Van Gogh collection. This collection may be personalized using Visconti’s “My Pen System” and features the iconic magnetic closure system. The clip on each pen is unique to Visconti and reveals the origin of the brand, as it takes inspiration from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge in Florence, Italy. Only 3500 pieces worldwide
