Discover the therapeutic joy of cursive handwriting and calligraphy with this beautifully crafted glass dip pen, liquid ink and vintage glass tray set.

Using this pen feels like a meditation—each stroke of the nib gliding effortlessly over the page, allowing you to focus on the flow of ink and letter formation. I often find myself copying text from magazines, lost in the rhythm of linking letters without the pressure to think. This simple act has brought immense relaxation and creativity into my life. In fact, it was during these calming moments that I found the inspiration to design my business’s logo and build the website you see today. I invite you to experience the same soothing pleasure and unleash your creativity with this fine calligraphy set. Let each letter be a step towards mindfulness and artistic expression!
Individual Product Details:

Handmade Glass Dip Pen:
Note: Fragile products, please use and store carefully (try to avoid pressing too hard on the nib when using a glass dip pen and use a looser, more relaxed grip)
Spiral design: the spiral design of the handmade glass dip pen can increase ink absorption and extend the writing time, comfortable to grip and smooth to write. There is a beautiful variation in tone when using a glass dip pen; when you first dip the pen there is more ink which will gradually dwindle as you write with it, the tonal variation adds a unique look to your writing while enhancing the artistic quality of your words!
Reliable material: these handmade glass dip pens are composed of a high percentage of borosilicate glass for extra durability. Write point: 0.7mm
Simple to clean: the crystal dip pen can easily rinse clean with water and dry with a towel within 10 seconds, you can quickly switch between different colours without having to refill the pen.
Ink: J. Herbin Fountain Pen 10ml Ink (Sampler size) - Bleu Calanque (Cove Blue)
J. Herbin Fountain pen ink is the oldest name in pen inks in the world. "The Jewel of Inks" was created in Paris in 1700. Herbin uses all natural dyes in their fountain pen inks. This natural composition is reflected in the very neutral pH of the inks.
Sample Size: Test new colours before you commit to larger ink bottles, very handy when traveling. Each 10ml glass bottle is elegantly labeled. Made in France

Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
Most vintage and antique glassware should be hand washed only and not in the dishwasher; especially any pieces with graphics or colourful patterns, for example Pyrex, Fire King, Glasbake, Corelle, drinkware, etc. Dishwashers can dull the finish on these unique pieces and cause premature wear to the surface and patterns or cause what is known as DWD or Dishwasher Damage which is irreversible. It's always better to be safe and wash by hand if you can.
Add some dish washing liquid into a sink or basin and add warm water. Placing a towel underneath can help to avoid breakage. It is best to use a damp cloth for any pieces with hand-painted decorations to preserve the art as even regular hand-washing can degrade these over time.
Does your store offer local pick-ups?
Absolutely! If you would like to coordinate a local pick-up in Durham Region you may either purchase the items and send a note after the fact to request a pick-up and we will then refund your shipping costs; or you can send a message prior to the order to request the local pick-up and we can remove the shipping costs on the items you wish to purchase. Ordering the items immediately will guarantee availability; this is the ideal method to ensure your selection(s) are not purchased by someone else in the interim, in case we do not respond to your inquiry soon enough (we will respond within 24 hours; however, we may not be available at the exact moment of your message)
Who is the cute kitty cat pictured in some of your listing photos?
If you have been lucky enough to spot her; she is my shop pet, Maeve and she sometimes shows up in the listing photos to provide a sense of scale (she is quite shy and elusive and may not always make an appearance.) In honour of Maeve, feel free to use the promo code KITTYMAEVE10 to save 10% on your next order!
A note to potential customers in the USA: Reminder: U.S. Customs and Border Protection holds the importer - YOU - liable for the payment of duty not the seller.
Importing Process Paying Duty: The importer is ultimately responsible for paying any duty owed on an import. Determining duty can be very complicated, and while shipping services will often give an estimate for what the duty rate on an item might be, only CBP can make a final determination about what is owed. You should not be misled into thinking your purchase price includes duty because the seller cannot say with absolute certainty what the duty will be. As a rule, a purchase price that includes shipping and handling does not include duty or any costs associated with clearing the goods through CBP.
