Exclusive Starburst and Sunburst fountain pens from S.T. Dupont. These iconic oversize Line D fountain pen designs, exclusive to the USA, showcase S.T. Dupont’s expertise in the fine art of lacquer application. Each fountain pen is crafted entirely at the S.T. Dupont factory in Faverges, France and is made utilizing ancient Japanese and Chinese techniques. First, up to 9 layers of sumptuous natural lacquer are hand-painted on the brass barrel of each pen to achieve the luxurious luster. Then an additional pearlescent lacquer coating is sprayed in small spurts that give these S.T. Dupont fountain pens their unique ‘burst’ effect. Made in France.
