This hand-blown Herbin round glass dip pen is made in the tradition of 16th-century Venice. Each pen is an individual work of art. The fine glass tips are twisted in a light spiral to hold the maximum amount of ink. Glass dip pens are great for both fountain pen ink or calligraphy/dip pen ink!

Note: The instructions inside this glass pen say that you can smooth the tip with the included fine sandpaper. If you sand it, you’re altering the tip and will not be eligible for return. The more you sand away, the broader the line the pen will write. Whatever you sand away, you can’t put back! 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. So go lightly, and understand that glass pens are stiff and will inherently not feel as smooth as a fountain pen.

Glass pen

Bought one for myself and one as a gift. Such a unique way of writing and much more enjoyable than I anticipated.

Classic Pen

This is a unique writing instrument with a touch of class. Well worth the money.

When first looking for a glass pen, I tried one that came highly recommended on Amazon. It broke seconds after I took it out of the packaging. The pen from Goulet wasn't like that at all. This thing is sturdy and beautiful. It has a wonderful weight to it and feels like it will last forever. It looks timeless and sophisticated. I primarily use mine for drawing, and it produces loose and flowing lines without scratching into the paper. It takes much less time to become familiar with than a traditional fountain pen, and is a lot less messy. I originally bought this just to try out a new drawing technique, and it was definitely worth the money since I'm hooked.

It is what it says on the box.

This pen is fun to write with, especially if you don't want to commit to loading an ink in a fountain pen. It is glass though, which you can easily learn the hard way. Buy two.
