Seriously, this thing rocks. It writes so well and for so long. I own another beautiful ‘dip pen’ with a bright red feather on it but for years I’ve hardly used it and keep it as more of a mantle piece because it doesn’t hold the ink very long. But this one here is functional. It is glass though so it feels quite fragile. Would like to buy one or two more for “backup” in case it breaks. Very beautiful. Read more

I had some reservations about purchasing this glass pen from a seller with no reviews,but went ahead with the purchase anyway. My pen arrived as promised, securely packaged and unbroken. The pen itself is quite pretty, and I was surprised how lightweight it is, since I was expecting it to be heavier. I've never had a glass pen before and I admit that I got it on an impulse based on my recent interest in fountain pens and ink. I was searching for an easy way to test out various inks, and an easy to clean glass pen seemed a good idea for this. The pen writes beautifully and smoothly. I am surprised to see how just a small dip in ink could be sufficient for 2 -3 paragraphs of writing. I didn't realize however that the first few written words will be loaded with ink but that as you progress the ink load thins out (which makes sense, since there's no cartridge like a fountain pen). Regardless I'm really happy with it, and it is working great for its intended use. I love it, and plan to use it a lot. It didn't come with a 'rest' such as other vendors sell, however this is not a problem. This fragile item will rest only in my hand, or securely in its box. I can't imagine leaving it out, even temporarily. Lastly I did want to mention that I was not compensated, didn't receive this for free, or even get a discount in exchange for my review. Nada. Zip. Zilch. This is my own honest review. Read more

The pen itself is absolutely beautiful to look at. Mine had a few small bubbles in it, but they’re hardly noticeable so it doesn’t bother me. At first, it was a bit scratchy but i was too nervous to try sanding it so I just continued to use it for a while and sure enough it smoothed out beautifully. It’s very easy to write with and has excellent ink retention. I am able to almost fill an entire page without having to re-dip it. It also rinses out nicely once you’re done using it. Considering the low price, the bubbles and initial scratchiness are no inconvenience at all. People always compliment how beautiful it is when they see it. My only complaint is I wish it had a matching stand but those aren’t too hard to come across, so again not a real inconvenience. This would make a very gorgeous, thoughtful, and affordable gift for any writers you may know. Read more

Broke in delivery. I would have loved to see how it worked Read more

Beautiful to look at, lovely to hold and a fine steady writer which holds plenty of ink on one dip. Not an everyday writing instrument but a good to have and use for special correspondence. Read more
