Bortoletti Vivaldi Glass & Bronze Inkwell Cal60
The Bortoletti Cal60 Vivaldi inkwell is an important handcrafted writing accessory that reflects the artistic heritage of Venice. Combining glass, bronze and decorative artistry, this inkwell brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless Italian design.
Distinctive Cameo Lid Design
The defining feature of the Vivaldi inkwell is its beautifully detailed glass paste cameo set into the bronze cap. This decorative element gives the inkwell a classical character, evoking historic writing desks while maintaining a refined contemporary elegance.
The finely crafted screw cap provides an excellent seal, while the wide glass opening allows comfortable dipping for calligraphy nibs and dip pens.
Integrated Pen Rest
Designed with practicality in mind, the Cal60 includes a built-in pen rest, allowing you to safely place your dip pen during writing pauses. This thoughtful feature keeps your workspace organised while protecting both nib and desk surface.
Includes Hamburg Calligraphy Ink
The inkwell is supplied with Bortoletti – Hamburg calligraphy ink in Cagliostro black, a richly pigmented ink inspired by alchemical tradition. The colour remains deep and intense after drying, offering excellent performance for calligraphy and handwriting.
Careful material selection and controlled production processes ensure consistent ink flow suitable for demanding calligraphers.
Venetian Craftsmanship
Conceived in Atelier A70 in Venice, the Vivaldi inkwell represents a balance between artisan tradition and innovation. Every detail — from the bronze workmanship to the cameo decoration — reflects the collaboration between artisans and master jewellers.
The result is an object that speaks of the past using the language of modern design.
