The Delta Paestum fountain pen pays tribute to the timeless legacy of Magna Graecia and the extraordinary archaeological heritage of ancient Poseidonia. Inspired by the temples, artifacts, and iconic Diver fresco, its design connects the beauty of ancient Greek culture with the art of writing, transforming each detail into a celebration of history, knowledge, and craftsmanship.

Created from the vision of Gianluca Vinciguerra, a longtime fine-writing retailer from Salerno, together with his wife Annarita, the collection reflects their passion for writing instruments and their deep connection to the Paestum region.

Hand-turned from solid bar special resin, the Paestum is offered in colors inspired by the blue Mediterranean Sea and the beige tones of the archaeological site's sands and stones. Decorative bands feature elements from the Temple of Neptune and the famous Tomb of the Diver, while the barrel incorporates olive-stem imagery and a traditional Greek motif.

This fountain pen includes a threaded standard international converter, has gold-plated trim, and a gold-plated #6 JoWo-made stainless steel nib. Each pen comes with a bottle of ink and is handmade in Delta's factory in Naples, Italy. Pens are individually numbered limited editions out of 288.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's your return policy?

We accept returns for up to 30 days from purchase. You can read all our Return Policies here.

To initiate a return, please submit a request at the Return Portal. Our Customer Care team might reach out to you for more information.

How do I use a converter?

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges?

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I clean this fountain pen?

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck.

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
