It is far shinier than in photos and videos. This pen arrived in a non-descript gray box inside of which was a thin metal tin. Inside the tin, lined in foam was the pen, inside a plastic protective sleeve and a small baggie with a tool to disassemble the piston mechanism. Nice. As the pen was in transit a Hongdian customer service rep, emailed institutions on how to fill and clean then pen as well as a thank you note. I’ve spent lots of money with companies and onto received a receipt, never a personalized thank you. Terrific. I inked it up with Hongdian Peacock Blue ink. It writes smooth and on the wetter side. The breather hole on the nib has a bit of a tear drop shape, different than most nibs I have had experience with. I set out writing several things in 3 different notebooks. The pen is an absolute joy to look at and it is very nice to write with. A pen is an item we often throw in a drawer or a bag and think nothing else about. The finial has Hongdian Fortune Di Lan Tian stamped with the Hongdian logo stamped in the center. It’s an awesome pen I am happy to have in my collection. And, I didn’t have to sacrifice my 401k. Great price. Great looks. Great performance. Great company. 4 Greats. Review: Pretty pen 💜 - This is such a pretty pen. I love writing with it as it’s a good weight and writes smoothly without skipping. I’m using a few of my shimmer grey inks without any issues. Good value for the price. ## Features - ✅ Elegant Design - Hollow Skeleton & Transparent Resin design create a sense of perspective, space and layering, offering a premium writing experience.

I love writing with it as it’s a good weight and writes smoothly without skipping. I’m using a few of my shimmer grey inks without any issues. Good value for the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pen, so-so looks *by L***A on November 2, 2025* I wish I hadn't gotten the silver. It's a little over the top and looks gaudy, but that's on me. It writes beautifully, with a buttery feel. I love to write with it, but definitely keep it at home. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hongdian D1 Piston Fountain Pen Fine Nib, Hollow Skeleton & Resin with Metal Case Set (Silver) - Asvine Hongdian Fountain Pen Bottled Ink Black, 60ml Fountain Pen Bottled Ink, Non Carbon - Asvine 5 Pack Fountain Pen Ink Syringe Filler, Spring Converter with Removable Blunt Needle Tip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/566001488-hongdian-d1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/566001488-hongdian-d1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
