Murano glass dip pen with decorative red swirled glass formation and added enhanced glass encased elements show a unique one of a kind pen. Decorative repoussé wrap around silver toned nib holder- it appears these is a gold toned part beneath the wrap peaking thru. I did not try to remove the nib. Pen measures approximately 5.5 inches including nib as shown in photo. Older acquisition from my art supply drawer, never got around to trying it out. Cardboard presentation box does show wear scuffs as shown, it was stored with other artist pen, ink and pencil supplies in a drawer. Interior: One of the pens -paper holding tabs inside of the box is split. Condition is preowned, drawer stored- a few relos over the years Please view photographs attached for condition review it is part of this preowned items description. I am no expert in these Italian dip-pens or describing Venetian art glass designs. Preowned and vintage items can have different perceptions of actual condition. Studying photos using enlarge zoom feature might be helpful could show this pens conditions better than my try at description words. If you have any questions or need to see any photographs please don’t hesitate to ask.

karenf612 @ck_miller Great question. I only know what is stated online as a reference. This pen was never used and I have never personally used a glass dip pen. What I see posted: “Glass Pens with Glass Dip or Metal Dip Nibs hold ink in the small yet deep grooves in the nibs. These grooves hold the ink as you write. Dip nib pens work best with thinner fountain pen inks because the thin grooves don’t allow the more viscous calligraphy ink to flow well.

karenf612 @ck_miller Thicker ink hugs the nib and dries, making it difficult to clean completely. Dip your glass or metal nib about halfway into your inkwell, then remove any excess ink. To begin writing with a glass or metal nib, use a light amount of pressure (as compared to the metal nib pens), then vary that pressure to see what works best for you

karenf612 @ck_miller - just don’t apply excessive pressure as you write or the glass nib (or glass pen) might break. Try writing at an angle and not vertically. Clean your pen regularly as you write by dipping it in water every 2-3 minutes and then wiping it off with a cotton cloth.”
