19th century floral-patterned William Morris capless rollerball pen
The “Blackthorn” pattern was designed by textile artist William Morris during the Arts and Crafts Movement of the 19th century. Several colors have been printed around the Tornado's stainless-steel barrel that’s finished with a gloss varnish and polished brass accents. Rollerball pens are packaged in a commemorative tube with more information about each design included. Each Tornado rollerball has the Met logo imprinted on the finial and is finished with polished trim. Although they are not limited editions, the top rings are engraved with The Met logo and a serial number. These beautiful designs are a must-have for any art lover.
