Bortoletti Hand-Chiselled Glass & Bronze Inkwell Cal40
When master artisans and skilled bronze craftsmen collaborate, the result is something truly special. The Bortoletti Cal40 inkwell is a handmade Italian creation combining hand-chiselled glass with finely worked white bronze, offering both practical function and timeless desk elegance.
Designed for Calligraphers
This inkwell holds approximately 30ml of ink and features a secure screw cap to protect your ink when not in use. The distinctive front pen rest — a signature element of Bortoletti design — allows you to rest your dip pen safely between strokes, keeping your workspace clean and organised.
Italian Craftsmanship & Heritage
Each piece is individually handmade in Italy using carefully selected raw materials. The decorative bronze base and detailing are finely worked to create a refined yet characterful appearance. No two pieces are identical, making every inkwell unique.
Inkwells have been part of writing history since Ancient Egypt, evolving through Roman and medieval periods into treasured desk objects. The Cal40 continues this tradition — not merely as a container for ink, but as a statement of craftsmanship and appreciation for the art of writing.

Loved it! Goes well with the other items ordered
Bortoletti was founded in 1980 by four brothers driven by the passion passed on by their father for bronze casting and sculpture.
It was born in Venice, and it was here that a story of love and passion began that has been handed down from father to son in respect for tradition and the need to preserve what is wonderful about culture.
Bortoletti Fonderia Artistica design and create exclusive handmade objects in the tradition of Venetian craftsmanship, from the pencils of their designers and their artistic creativity come the designs of wonderful products and it is always a lifeblood of the whole creative process.
The passion and care they devote to their products are a source of pride and satisfaction for everyone. All creations are unique pieces, handmade and produced elusively in Bortoletti's workshop. By integrating with modern habits, they restore to you the pleasure of giving that has belonged to us all for millennia. The design of Bortoletti's products is so pleasing to the eye because it speaks of the past in the language of the present.
If you have a piece of Bortoletti - you have a part of Venice in your hands.
All Bortoletti's inkwells are made from Italian Murano glass. The metal is high quality nickel-silver plated bronze.
