Experience the allure of our Shannon fountain pen, a tribute to Ireland's majestic river, essential for any fountain pen aficionado. This pen effortlessly transforms ideas and inspiration onto paper with its seamless ink flow. Whether adorning a desk or commanding attention in a meeting or boardroom, its distinctive wooden design and meticulous craftsmanship make it a distinguished gift cherished by its recipient and admired by onlookers. Its graceful ink flow is a poignant reminder of your thoughtful and enduring gift each time it's wielded.

Crafted from Irish-grown Elm, sourced from the verdant heartlands of Ireland, this pen carries a rich narrative. The Elm, originating from the Midlands of Ireland, finds new life in our creations. Acquired from a retiring clockmaker, who accumulated Elm offcuts spanning over three decades, these remnants, while too petite for his craft, find purpose and beauty in our pens. Thus, the wood holds a unique significance not only due to its origins but also for its rarity.

The Shannon fountain pen is fitted with a German-manufactured bi-colour size six nib; this ensures a smooth writing experience even for the fussiest of fountain pen users.

The fountain pen ink flows from an international standard-sized ink cartridge, readily available from all stationery shops worldwide. Open on this site also.

We also provide an ink pump with the pen; this pump allows bottled ink to be used in pen, fill the pump with your favourite bottled ink and insert it into the pen and you're ready to write.

Sustainability is high on everyone's agenda; by using one of our handmade pens and only replacing the refill, you help the environment by not contributing to the BILLIONS of plastic biros that go to landfills every year.

Please give one of our fountain pens with our ink pump, and the only thing you don't use is the empty glass ink bottle that is recycled; how green is that?

We post our pens in our recyclable pen gift box wrapped in corrugated cards and place them in a biodegradable mailer bag; it's our way of greening what we do and minimising our environmental impact.

At a time when individuality is becoming increasingly rare, we can engrave the pen for you.

Your pen gift is presented in our deluxe gifting package

• Luxurious pen gift box
• Detail card on the wood used in the pen
• Instruction card
• Ink pump and ink cartridges so the pen can be used on the receipt
