Fountain Pen Jinhao 950 Blue and White Porcelain with Chinese Calligraphy and Horse Fine Nib

First of all it must be said this fountain pen (FP) is a piece of art. The horse is beautiful painted, in a vivid blue, and its image is more attractive than the photos of the presentation could show. Several verses in Chinese characters complete this artistic work on porcelain. Whenever I take the fountain pen to write with, I firstly admire this beautiful, gracious horse. The shiny chrome trims complete the design, with a clip that is engraved with a carriage, the emblem of the manufacturer. The FP is a big one. It measures 13.9 cm capped and 12.5 cm uncapped. The barrel is 1.4 cm in diameter, but the section is 1 cm at the top and o.8 cm near the nib, so the pen can be easily held even by people not having a big hand. The FP weighs around 55 gr. It is a heavy one (not for a porcelain FP however). It is designed to be used with the cap aside. The cap can be pulled off by a click, firm mechanism. The FP comes with a screwing converter that seems to work well and packed in a decent, elegant blue box. As for the nib, I could say it is a very good one. My FP came with a stainless steel nib that can be considered as Fine width accordingly to the European standards, or a Medium-Fine accordingly the Asian ones. It is an amazing smooth nib in its rank, I could say that it writes even better than some gold nibs. The nib is very nice engraved with a decorative band and with the name of the manufacturer - Jinhao, 18k golden plated. Jinhao is the most famous Chinese FP manufacturer, so it is clear for me why this 950 model has a so good quality. it writes without skipping and yes, after some time of non-use, it is a good starter out of the box. The name Jinhao is engraved also on the ring. This FP is a bargain. Like many Jinhao FPs it has a very good price for such a good quality. Maybe the FP is not conceived to be used at the office or at the school, but surely it is suitable as a beautiful personal writing instrument, as a gift or as a must for all FP collectors.

Arrived when promised, seller was responsive

This was a gift for my mother. It came in its own box, which was great for wrapping and keeping it safe. The pen itself is just beautiful, with a nice weight to it. She was so thrilled when I gave it to her. Great purchase!

Beautiful pen, it writes well

leaks

The look is great as always, but the tube is not good - it can never suck in a full tube of ink

I like the weight of this pen and it writes smoothly.

This was a gift for a friend. She was so pleased. Thanks

bella e molto fine, curata e rifinita, non troppo pesante percio si puo utilizzare per piu tempo senza problema, la consiglio per se stessi o come regalo. peccato che la scatoletta sia di plastica semplice. sono comunque molto soddisfatto

Die Lieferungszeit und Ware entspricht den Angaben; der Füller schreibt gut, nicht alltägliches Design; ein gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis, gerne wieder

まず見た目がいい、そして安い この二点だけで十分評価出来ます 確かにペンは重いですし、いくらか使いにくいですが、持ってみて独特のものだなと感じる質感など、他では変わりにならないものがあります ペンとしての実用性はあまり……ではありますが、持ってみると多少書いてみるかという気にさせてくれるデザインですね

È di porcellana ed è arrivata giusta in tempo per il mio ventesimo di matrimonio. Non chiedetemi come scrive, è già in in cassetto. Sarebbe bello che la benedizione venisse tradotta (correttamente) anche in un foglietto di carta posto a lato.
