Description
Colette wrote every one of her novels by hand, the story goes, with a cat curled somewhere nearby. Whether or not that is entirely true, every writer understands the image: the scratch of a nib, the slow turn of a page, and a warm, purring presence that occasionally steps across the manuscript to remind you that it is dinner time.
This whimsical box brings that companionship to the desk. It is shaped like a fountain pen, its blue barrel beautifully decorated, with a small cat sitting proudly on top. Please note it is a decorative box and does not write. Give it to a novelist finishing a first draft, a teacher at the end of term, a calligrapher, or a friend who still sends handwritten letters. A hinged lid opens to a tiny hiding place for a stamp or a ring.
What makes it special
- Designed in the shape of a fountain pen
- A cat sits on top of a decorated blue barrel
- Opens on a hinged lid to reveal a small hidden space
- Decorative only, not a working pen
- Its cat, nib and barrel all painted freehand on porcelain in Limoges, France
Set it beside an inkwell and a stack of notebooks for a writing nook full of character. Cat lovers will adore it just as much as wordsmiths. It also makes a witty farewell gift for an editor.
