The Muse Fountain Pen
The Muse Fountain Pen is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Muse is one of the best pens in the Webson Gill Collection, presented in a striking shade of orange that immediately makes it stand out. Designed for both executive and personal use, it combines practical reliability with thoughtful craftsmanship. The pen's body is made of high-gloss resin, chosen for its durability and ability to retain its finish over years of use. Its bold orange surface is paired with polished gold-toned accents and palladium-plated brass details, creating a pen that is both visually distinctive and strong.
The nib is the centerpiece of any fountain pen model, and in the Muse, it has been designed with performance and durability in mind. A gold-plated stainless steel nib crowns the pen, offering strength and consistent reliability. The medium nib size provides smooth ink flow and a balanced line width, making it suitable for a range of pen preferences. Whether for signatures, note-taking, or longer writing sessions, the plated gold nib option adapts without issue. The Webson Gill logo is engraved on the nib, marking its place within the collection and adding a detail of distinction.
Every aspect of the Muse reflects attention to detail. The barrel carries engraved Webson Gill motifs, subtle enough not to distract but present enough to give the pen its character. Palladium-plated brass metal trim accentuates the resilience and aesthetics, protecting the pen while maintaining its clean, streamlined design. The result is a writing instrument with a minimalist profile that prioritizes both utility and form.
The cap design adds to the pen's practicality. The Muse uses a screw cap with a secure posting system that creates an airtight seal when closed. This prevents ink from drying out, protects the nib, and ensures that the luxury fountain pen is ready for use whenever it is uncapped. The posting system also gives stability when writing with the cap attached to the barrel, making it comfortable for different writing preferences.
Ink versatility is another key feature. The Muse is equipped with a piston ink converter filling mechanism, enabling users to switch between bottled inks and ink cartridges with ease. The piston filling mechanism makes the pen adaptable for those who prefer convenience as well as those who enjoy the variety and ink capacity that bottled inks provide. It is fully compatible with Webson Gill's line of fountain pen inks. This flexibility allows writers to choose inks that suit their work or personal expression.
The writing experience itself is supported by the pen's balanced weight and size. The high-gloss resin offers an ergonomic grip, while the balanced weight distribution between the barrel and cap minimizes fatigue during extended use. As part of the Webson Gill Collection, the Muse represents the brand's commitment to producing writing instruments that combine durable construction with thoughtful design. It is built not only to perform well but also to last, with materials and features that ensure longevity.
The Muse is the perfect pen, designed to fit into various settings, from professional to personal and creative. It works equally well in a work environment where presentation matters and in private spaces where writing is about focus and expression. It is a fountain pen created to deliver consistent performance while offering a distinctive appearance, making it a lasting addition to any writing routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to store my fountain pen?
What is the best way to store my fountain pen?
For daily use:
- Keep the pen capped securely to prevent the nib from drying out.
- Store it horizontally or with the nib pointing upward. Horizontal storage keeps ink evenly distributed, while nib-up prevents ink from flooding the feed if the pen is full.
- Avoid nib-down storage for long periods, since it can cause leaks.
For long-term storage:
- Clean the pen thoroughly first (flush out all ink with water until it runs clear, then let it dry).
- Store it dry, with the nib capped.
- Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat, as this can damage resin or ink.
- If you have a pen case, pouch, or pen box, use it to protect the pen from dust and scratches.
What kind of writing surface is best for fountain pens?
What kind of writing surface is best for fountain pens?
The ideal writing surface for a fountain pen is smooth, high-quality paper that allows the nib to glide effortlessly, maintaining crisp, clean lines. Medium to heavyweight fountain pen paper, typically 80–100 gsm or higher, prevents feathering and bleed-through, making it ideal for both everyday writing and a more expressive writing experience. Low-absorbency papers are particularly well-suited to fountain pens, as they keep ink sharp on the page and preserve shading and color definition without spreading into the fibers.
What is the difference between a cartridge and a converter?
What is the difference between a cartridge and a converter?
A fountain pen cartridge is a small, disposable container pre-filled with ink, designed for quick and convenient use. Once empty, it is replaced with a new cartridge, making it a simple option for beginners or those who prefer quick writing sessions. An ink converter, on the other hand, is a refillable unit that fits into the same space as a cartridge, allowing the pen to draw ink directly from a bottle. Converters give writers access to a wider variety of ink colors and are often more economic in the long run. The primary difference between a cartridge and a converter lies in convenience versus flexibility: cartridges are quick and mess-free, while converters offer greater flexibility and a more versatile writing experience.
What kind of fountain pen nib is best for beginners?
What kind of fountain pen nib is best for beginners?
For beginners, the best fountain pen nib is typically a medium-sized nib. Medium nibs offer a balanced line width that suits most writing styles, providing smooth ink flow with minimal pressure required. They work on a variety of paper types, making them ideal for those new to fountain pens. Fine or F nibs can produce thinner lines but may feel scratchy on lower-quality paper, while broad nibs release more ink, which can lead to smudging or bleed-through for new users. A medium nib gives beginners a consistent, comfortable, and versatile writing experience, helping them develop proper technique while enjoying the smoothness and elegance of fountain pen writing.
