These beautiful hand blown foil glass dip pens are fun and easy to use. Glass Dip Pens hold ink in the small yet deep grooves at the tip. The tip is equivalent to a nib in a fountain pen. These grooves hold the ink as you write. Simply dip the tip of the pen into the ink and write. It's that easy. Each set comes in a nice black gift box with foam to protect the glass. There is a glass "pillow" to rest your pen on and a small bottle of ink.
