  • Abundant in nature, the ovoid recalls both the egg and seed. This organic shape has been celebrated since antiquity by cultures all over the world, and endures today as a symbol for regeneration and hope.

    The egg brings hope and purity. It is a powerful symbol of new life, fertility, rebirth and the circle of life. In some Asian cultures the egg is seen as a symbol of luck and wealth.

    Handcrafted from solid Brass, the Brass Egg responds to the touch with weight, warmth and motion. Measuring 65.5 mm by 47.5 mm, the Egg fits perfectly in your palm as you muse on ideas and challenges, and makes an attractive paperweight when you reach a solution.

    Due to it’s weight and careful engineering, the Brass Egg MAY balance perfectly on its base, making it an intriguing talking point. The solid brass Egg is hand-made in England. Imperfections and signs of its hand-made nature are welcomed and to be expected.

    Over time the metal will age naturally, developing a rich, dark patina that is unique to your touch. If you prefer your egg to shine, the brass can be polished and waxed to reduce oxidisation.

  • Caring for your egg

    We put a lot of time and care into the design, engineering and finishing of all our products. We hope that this information will help you to enjoy them for many years.

    All of our products are made by hand, using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. Each item is unique and no two items will have precisely the same tone or markings.

    Our products are crafted from solid copper or brass. Over time the metal will naturally oxidise, developing a rich, dark patina that is unique to your touch. Copper and brass patinas vary in colour from a deep charcoal to vibrant turquoise, making each item beautifully distinct.

    To restore the original shine to your item, copper and brass can be polished gently with a soft polishing cloth and waxed to reduce oxidisation.

    To restore the original shine to your item, copper and brass can be polished gently with a soft polishing cloth and waxed to reduce oxidisation.

    We recommend Renaissance Wax, which was developed by the British Museum in the 1950s and is still used today to protect artefacts in the world’s major museums and art galleries. It is important to note that wax creates a barrier between the object and its environment, reducing the natural antibacterial properties of the metal.

    All Copper Collection products are splash proof but please avoid direct contact with perfume, creams and other sprays as these may cause discolouration.

Inder - The Copper Fountain  Pen

A beautiful example of the pen maker’s art - its red-orange lustre emits a reassuring glow and feel.

This pen is truly exquisite

Hand Made in England, the Copper pen is bored from a solid rod of copper bar and combines durability with sophisticated design, elegance and exquisite workmanship, which will accompany their owner for life. 

It is not a heavyweight by any means, not compared to some of today’s giants, but neither is it a lightweight; it is substantial enough to convey a confidence that it is more than up to the task. It does not matter whether the task is a short note or a long letter.

The Bock fountain pen nib (medium) glides smoothly across the paper, ensuring the pen’s perfect balance requires only the minimum of effort to produce the letters and form the words.

The cap screws on and off easily with reassuring ease and a precision that makes the pen appear seamless. Totally uncluttered and unencumbered by a clip or any other adornment, the barrel and cap are sleek and perfectly rounded, the domed ends complimenting the straight lines of both. The cap cannot be “posted”. The pen is balanced to write without this.

The finish is natural, unlacquered and over time will assume a natural patina that develops with time and use.  This property means that each and every pen will become truly unique, but for those who prefer a shiny and pure aesthetic look, the copper pen will clean up beautifully with a gentle abrasive (vinegar or lemon will do the trick)

Naturally antimicrobial, copper kills bacteria, yeasts and viruses on contact and retains this property even after being cleansed itself. Recognized for centuries for its healing properties, copper kills 99.9% of disease causing bacteria within two hours, making this the ideal pen for those working in sensitive environments.  

Length 138mm

Diameter 12mm

Weight 65 grams

Supplied with a blue and black standard European cartridges and a premium "standard international" fountain pen converter for use with bottled ink.

Our pen arrives in a sleek presentation box, making it a great idea for a thoughtful gift.

The distinctly warm and luxurious colour tone of copper can add something a bit special to your stationery collection and it has featured heavily in both fashion and home decor trends in the past couple of years. Needless to say, copper is one of the most beautiful and unique metals you can find on everyday items and is as such, perfectly suited to pens. 

So, take a little time and think. When was the last time you actually wrote; to a friend, a colleague, an acquaintance, or even a loved one?
