Pelikan's story originates in 1838 when chemist Carl Hornemann founded a small company to produce ink and water colours. Based out of Hanover, Germany, the Pelikan logo itself is borne from his family's coat of arms and is now synonymous with one of the oldest brands in Germany.

Pelikan are famed for their 1929 invention of the differentiated piston filling mechanism. In the following decades, the company established its international reputation for manufacturing high-quality, plush fountain pens.

The Edelstein Ink Collection comprises 10 bright colours, with a special ingredient that ensures extra smooth writing, which also takes care of your fountain pen. The German word Edelstein translates as gem stone, and each colour corresponds to the beautiful colouring of a gem.

Every 50ml high-value glass vial is unique. The rich weight and soft curves make it a pleasure to have sat on your desk.
