The style is usually traced to the glassmakers of Murano, though the first pens anyone documented were made in Japan in 1902. It survived because it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grooves running down the nib are not decoration. Capillary action holds ink in the channels, so a glass pen carries far more ink per dip than a metal nib does. You get a sentence or two rather than a few words, and the line stays even the whole way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Are Getting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne gold glass dip pen, 7.5 inches, and a jar of fine Italian writing ink, gift boxed. \u003cstrong\u003eGold is the color of the glass.

They also break if you drop them on tile, so the box is worth keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse It For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalligraphy, journaling, and any writing where you want to switch ink often. A glass nib is the practical choice for someone working with several colors, because cleaning it takes a glass of water and five seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair It With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/wicca-sealing-wax\"\u003eWicca Sealing Wax\u003c\/a\u003e, and a journal to use it in.
