Collection: Visconti Alexander The Great

Every year Visconti commemorates a famous figure in history. 2023 brings an incredible tribute to Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) as it is the 2300th anniversary of his death. A key figure in ancient civilization, the Alexander the Great limited edition features many details that pay homage to the young conquerors' short yet valiant life.

Visconti crafts this incredible collection with a cylindrical shape, including carved details reminiscent of Greek columns. The map of Alexander the Great's empire, created by scrimshaw technique is darkened to make the depiction stand out against the ivory colored resin on the barrel and cap. The metal fittings are in aged bronze and feature typical Greek decorations.

The Alexander the Great is available as a fountain pen and rollerball. The fountain pen features Visconti's famous power filling system with a threaded cap closure and is presented in a magnificent, custom limited edition box depicting Alexander the Great on horseback seemingly in the midst of battle with spear and shield in hand.

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
