Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the glass dip pen set?
A glass dip pen of about 18 cm, a bottle of ink and a pen rest, in a gift box.

How is a glass dip pen different from a metal nib dip pen?
A glass pen writes an even line and cleans instantly in water. A metal nib gives thick and thin strokes, which suits formal calligraphy better.

Can I change ink colours?
Yes. Rinse the tip in water and dry it before dipping into a new colour.
