Description

For seven years, Pen Venture has celebrated the passion of writing and writing instruments, this limited edition fountain pen marks that milestone. One year in the works - Leonardo - Urushi Essenza Nipon Sette, only 13 pieces are available, each one a unique testament to the skill, vision, and dedication of Leonardo Officina Italiana and PenTeo, our urushi artist who brought the vision to life.

Crafted using the roiro urushi technique, the pen’s body is lacquered in aka kushi, a rich, red lacquer known as “lipstick red.” With every layer, the urushi transforms, deepening in color, revealing its beauty and capturing light in an ever-changing glow. From the hands of PenTeo, the fountain pen emerges as more than a writing instrument, it is a glowing statement of beauty and intention, where tradition, patience, and artistry converge.

The bold red is elegantly balanced with black accents on the limited edition hand painted Roman numbers, threads, and feeder, creating a striking contrast that highlights the meticulous attention to detail. Fitted with a Leonardo La Fenice #8 14k gold nib, each fountain pen delivers a luxurious, smooth, and responsive writing experience that mirrors the refinement of its exterior.

PenTeo is the artist behind Pen Venture’s past exclusive editions: Essenza: Aka Tamenuri (2022), CinqueVerde (2023), Great Void (2024), and Ignis (2025), each writing instrument a story of lacquer, light, and life, culminating in this seventh-anniversary piece, in a timespan of 12 months where we created the perfect red.

Owning this fountain pen is owning a fragment of history, a celebration of seven years of growth, vision, and the timeless passion for the fountain pen world. It is not merely a tool, but a collector’s treasure, meant to be admired, cherished, and experienced.

My favorite pocket pen!

I've tried almost all of the pocket fountain pens out there, especially the ones with a #6 nib, and this Quark is my favorite of the bunch.

The material choice in a stone wash finish is perfect for a pocket pen. It provides good texture to grip and handle the pen, which you will be doing a lot because you need to unscrew to uncap and then screw to post... and then again in reverse to put the pen away. But the zing! of the zirconium makes each writing opportunity such a pleasurable experience. You're able to do this quickly as well because of the minimal turns it takes manipulate the cap. The grooved texture of the grip is also excellent. Just enough to give you a good grip but never in your way. I do wish the grip section was about 1mm thicker though.

I have mine fitted with a Pilot #15 nib and eyedroppered. I smile every time I take it out of my pocket... the zing... the reveal of the 14k Pilot nib... the perfectly textured groove section. The whole package just comes together so lovely!

If I had to complain though, my one gripe is that when posted, the cap wiggles ever so slightly. It's very minor, but you do feel it move in your hand when writing from time to time. Also, mine takes about 1.5 rotations to uncap, but the description says 0.6 turns. On the plus side, it can post in 1.5 turns, even though the description says 2 turns. Not sure if this is just a variance in manufacturing.

But overall this is an amazing pen. I have been eyeing it for over a year and now I wish I had gotten it sooner.
