What is included in the set

This exclusive calligraphy kit includes a single-colour lampworked Murano glass pen, a 15 ml bottle of calligraphy ink, two fine-tip nibs, and three vintage-style nibs. The variety of nibs makes the set versatile for different writing preferences and allows you to explore a range of letterforms and line styles.

Handmade Murano glass pen

The pen is produced through traditional lampworking in the Bortoletti laboratory, where expert master glassmakers shape the Murano glass by hand. The single-colour finish gives the pen an elegant and distinctive appearance, while the craftsmanship behind each piece ensures that every pen carries its own artisan character.

Bronze decorative metalwork

The pen is assembled with a decorative bronze nib holder cast using the lost wax process, a traditional technique associated with fine Italian metalwork. This gives the pen both visual richness and a reassuring sense of quality in the hand, helping to create a writing instrument that feels balanced, comfortable, and distinctive.

Ideal for a range of calligraphy styles

The Pisani pen is well suited to anyone who enjoys writing by hand and wants to practise different calligraphic styles. With its selection of nibs, it is especially useful for English calligraphy and other traditional pointed or fine writing styles. It also makes a lovely tool for writing meaningful words, place cards, notes, and decorative pieces.

A writing tradition with historic roots

Calligraphy has deep historical roots, reaching back centuries to the early use of the quill pen. Over time, the shaping of pen tips for different hands and scripts led to the development of metal nibs and modern dip pen writing. The Pisani set reflects that long tradition, offering a contemporary way to enjoy an art form that remains valued for its beauty, discipline, and personal expression.

Elegant desk appeal

As well as being a practical writing set, the Pisani calligraphy kit makes a striking decorative addition to a desk, studio, or study. The glow of Murano glass and the detail of the bronze fitting give it a heritage-inspired appearance that feels both artistic and luxurious.

Gift-ready presentation

The set is presented in an elegant cardboard box with a hot-stamped Bortoletti logo, making it especially suitable for gifting. It is a thoughtful choice for calligraphers, writers, stationery lovers, and anyone drawn to beautifully made Italian desk accessories.
