Heritage meets contemporary design Say hello to our Dual-Tip Glass Dip Pen – a very special artist's tool. Each pen is handcrafted by Jake, a talented glass artist from Somerset, e nsuring no two are ever the same. With uniquely coloured glass, this pen is as beautiful as it is functional, giving you a one-of-a-kind writing experience every time. A spot of context: I love a glass dip pen, the subtle 'bite' the nib has on the page, the ability to use any kind of ink and still be easy to clean and of course the wondrous beauty of glass. It's one of those designs that has stayed the same for hundreds of years, and rightly so. However, as a designer, I couldn't resist the challenge of making it more relevant to a modern audience... The genius of this pen lies in its versatility: one end has a fine nib for those delicate, detailed strokes, while the other sports a medium nib for bolder, thicker lines. Whether you're working on intricate monoline calligraphy or a flowing illustration, switching between nibs is effortless – just flip the pen and go! It also means you can use two ink colours at a time! Thanks to the spiral grooves in the nib, you’ll get a smooth and consistent ink flow that lasts line after line, keeping your creativity in full swing. Plus, it's surprisingly comfy to hold, even for long writing sessions. Best used with fountain pen ink, but it also works a treat with calligraphy ink – just thin it down a bit if needed. This pen is your go-to for versatile, stylish writing that never skips a beat. Please note: Rosewater is a newly reformulated version of our original Pale Rose. It has a lighter, softer tint than the previous batch, so it won’t be an exact match if you own the earlier shade. Show more
