Pens, Fountain Pens
Smooth contours, a substantial feel and a range of plated and lacquered finishes make Claria an ideal pen for everyday use. These pens have solid brass pen bodies with rhodium and chrome plated accents. This fountain pen specifically has a red lacquer finish that screams extravagancy. This fountain pen comes prepared with a standard medium nib.
A great middle-of-the-road fountain pen.

Comments about Waterford Waterford Claria Fountain Pen Red:
This pen is well-made--mostly metal, and the turnings are very precise and smooth. The barrel, however, is of slightly lower quality. The lacquer coating is thin and scratches quite easily. Like most fountain pens, the barrel is roomy enough to hold an ink cartridge plus a refill, or a single liquid ink adapter (included in the package).
The cold metal grip is not the most comfortable thing in the world for extended periods of writing, but the writing is smooth and consistent and well-suited to casual jotting or note-taking.
