Description The Visconti ballpoint in The Novel Reader, is inspired by the Van Gogh painting of the same name, and features flowing shades of teal, yellow, burgundy and green, in an 18-sided faceted resin body accented by gold-plated trim, with no two pen patterns exactly the same. The Van Gogh ballpoint fits well in the hand, and the twist-action mechanism extends and retracts the Parker style ballpoint refill. The Visconti Van Gogh ballpoint pen uses the Parker Style ballpoint refill that is available in different colors and point sizes. Don't forget to customize your Visconti pen with the "My Pen System". Just include your first and last initials in the comments box, with a request for My Pen System Inserts. The 2 letters are free, and natural stones and zodiac coins are available for purchase.
