These are handmade glass dip pens in a series so the color, pattern, and size will vary a bit. I try to keep the colors as close to the picture as possible. The glass nibs have eight channels for the ink to fill, so you are able to write for quite a long time before needing to dip it again.

I have decided to go with a more contemporary design. The main reason is that I have always liked the feel of the Mont Blanc style of pen and decided to try it in glass. After the first one that I made, I realized that not only was the shape comfortable to hold, but was also a pleasure to write or draw with. And that is due to the extra weight. So you don't need to press down on the paper at all.

We have three different nibs to choose from:
The straight nib, which will write at all angles including vertical and can be asked for fine, medium and bold for the nib.
The artist nib, the line thickness will change from 1mm to .1 mm depending on how you doin the pen. It's great for filling in large areas to fine details.
The Italic nib, perfect for calligraphy. The ink will flow at all angles. Which makes it perfect for traditional Japanese calligraphy. I can make the nib 1.5mm to 5mm, each is handmade, so if you want a size other than 2mm, please ask.
Here is some information about the pen. It is made with borosilicate glass and fumed with 24kt gold and 99.99 fine silver. Since the color on the pen is translucent, the color will change depending on the background. The grips are encased colored glass.

Mars: Red grip with pink tendrils
Earth: Blue grip Blue green and pink tendrils
Neptune: Green grip green tendrils

Dimensions: 14-14.5cm long 14mm diameter

These pens are made when they are ordered, so please let us know what size nib you would like, fine, medium, and bold are not specific. Please let me know how thick of a line you want in mm. If not expect the pen to have the size below.
