This Jacques Herbin glass pen was made by hand in Italy. The island of Murano has been famous since the Renaissance for its high quality glass manufacturing and technique of colouring the glass.
This nib, formed of a set of twisted glass threads between which the ink climbs by capillarity, is very pleasant to use. Thanks to its elegance, it brings a note of vintage decoration on a desk.
This set offers a glass pen and a miniature ink bottle (15ml) in Rouge d'Orient.
