Enjoy a beautiful glass pen expertly hand-blown in the tradition of 16th-century Venice! Glass dip pens let you feel the texture of the page and connect you directly to your writing in a way that no other writing instrument can. They work well with virtually any ink and are easy to clean, making them a popular choice for testing new inks. But they aren't just for testing. They are easy to use and can write multiple sentences between dips, so they're more convenient for writing than a typical dip pen. Additionally, the glass nib will never rust or wear out, so it can last a lifetime if well cared for. Herbin Round Glass Pen 18cm Transparent. Every glass pen is hand-crafted and therefore unique. Thanks to the small grooves on the nib, several lines can be written without dipping. Pen formed by a set of twisted glass threads between which the ink rises by capillary action. It is very pleasant to use. Discover or rediscover the pleasure of writing with a glass quill! You will appreciate its excellent grip and the bewitching sound of pen on paper. Allows for fluid, ample and precise writing.
To use this pen, dip the tip part-way into a bottle of your favorite ink. Gently scrape the sides of the nib against the opening of the bottle to drain the excess ink. The only ink left on the nib should be the ink held inside the small capillary grooves that spiral around the tip. As you write, turn the pen slightly whenever the pen starts to run dry, allowing the ink from other grooves to be used. The instructions inside this glass pen say that you can smooth the tip with fine sandpaper. In our experience, it’s best to use micro mesh or mylar, as it’s finer than sandpaper and will sand less aggressively, minimizing the chance of irreversible damage. Note that when you sand it, you’re altering the tip and taking that risk upon yourself. The more you sand away, the broader the line the pen will write. Whatever you sand away, you can’t put back! So go lightly, and understand that glass pens are stiff and will inherently not feel as smooth as a fountain pen.

Very beautiful ink…..i love writing in my journal with this colour
Pairs perfectly with my iroshizuku kon-peki ink. Writes very smoothly. Have purchased a medium nib, the line width is pretty thick.
I am using a parker pen last 2 years but after staring to use pelikon fountain pen things really change. It's amazing, smooth in writing.
The product is as mentioned in the description. The only reason for giving 5* is because, "onlinemantra" is not the manufacturer.
Did not expect this from a Japanese manufacture.
Parker fountain with 0.5 is way better and way smoother. This is a 0.2mm nib pen but writing looks like you are using 0.6 or 0.7.
And the ink is lighter than Ujala blue. But the absorption on paper is quick.
Brilliant colour
Good product
A beautifully designed piece. I like the colour of the body. The gold plated clip goes well with it. I appreciate the speedy delivery of such a quality product. I am happy to have come across Onlinemantra. Some more discount codes would be great especially for a loyal customer.
The pen was really fantastic, great design, and Online Mantra shipped fast internationally, so happy with the overall experience!
Be it for sketching or for writing, this is the black ink I love!! Even though the ink is pigmented its as wet (if not wetter) as dye based inks.
pen is very good. The best thing is that it will come under economical price
great buying experience from Online Mantra
anish ji as always shipped products in secured protective packaging
Probably should have chosen the fine nib. But excellent service, thank you !
I had ordered these pens to gift , the quality was great and perfect for gifting.
Quick dry but very smooth writing
