Product Description
Type Modern fountain pen
Product Name Tessera - this was a North American exclusive
Manufacturer and Year Benu, Russia - 2019. (We understand they have recently moved their operations to Armenia.)
Length 5-1/2" long
Filling System International cartridge converter. A piston converter is installed.
Color We believe that this was called "Turquoise" - the base color is black with shimmery pearl white and turquoise swirls. Black section. The model name, Tessera, refers to the small blocks or tiles used in mosaic art, and the surface of the pen is textured in a blocky pattern. The pen is beautifully colored, and relatively subtle for a Benu.
Nib BROAD iridium point nib. Benu describes their nibs as "Schmidt nibs that are manufactured by JoWo and then hand-assembled at the Schmidt factory in Germany".
Condition Near Mint condition, in box, with paperwork. This is a beautiful pen in stunning colors. There is microscratching visible under magnification, but no significant marks. The pen looks nearly perfect in hand. The BENU imprint is clear.
