Overview

The Esterbrook Estie Nouveau Bleu button-piston fountain pen brings Alphonse Mucha’s Art Nouveau blues to a polished finish inspired by vintage pens.

Flowing figures, elaborate lettering, and soft colors are hallmarks of Alphonse Mucha’s illustrations. Nouveau Bleu takes its cue from the eau-de-nil blue he used in drapery, skies, wings, and water. The artist made his name in Belle Époque Paris in the 1890s, notably through his theater posters for Sarah Bernhardt, including Gismonda.

The blend of blues also recalls vintage celluloid pens, with a polished finish that links the Art Nouveau palette to the history of pen making. To introduce Nouveau Bleu, Esterbrook commissioned calligrapher and illustrator Debra Dick to create a painting that combined Mucha’s influence with her own drawing and lettering style.

Gold-tone trim adds a warm contrast to the blue finish. A button at the back of the barrel fills the built-in reservoir with bottled ink. The nib is made in Germany by JoWo, and a cushion closure inside the cap adds a second seal to help keep it from drying out.

Questions & Answers

What gives Nouveau Bleu its vintage look?

Its blend of blues and polished finish recall vintage celluloid pens. The reference is to their appearance, connecting Mucha’s palette with the history of pen design.

How did Debra Dick contribute to Nouveau Bleu?

She created a painting for the launch, combining Mucha’s Art Nouveau influence with her own work as a calligrapher and illustrator.

How do I fill the button-piston version?

Unscrew the end of the barrel to expose the filling button. With the nib submerged in bottled ink, press the button several times to fill the built-in reservoir.

What does the cushion closure do?

It adds a second seal inside the cap, around the nib, to help keep the ink from drying out while the pen is capped.
