I always loved the design and finally found this shop to get it! Handmade in Italy. It lays perfectly in your hand, due to the heavy tip. The delivered nib has no name but works perfectly- I am surprised! High quality product!

I like the set but I'm struggling to use it properly
Answer:
Hi Saraya,
Thank you for phoning yesterday. Hopefully the tips and instructions in using the pen will come in useful. You can always ask for more help if you wish, or you can join one of my calligraphy classes.
All of my classes can be seen here: https://calligraphyarts.co.uk/workshops/

A present to myself. Very well packed for postage on opening a nice presentation box with 3 nibs a bottle of black ink and a beautiful oblique pen, at such a good price too. It feels lovely in the hand I\'m looking so forward to writing with this piece. And I\'m now thinking of purchasing the matching pen holder and probably a wax stamp. The choices at Arts Shop are beautiful and I\'m sure these will make the writing calligraphy experience even better. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this item before its out of stock Thankyou Calligraphy Arts Shop I\'m glad I found you online

Lovely adjustable oblique dip pen. The pen looks like it will be weighty but it isn\'t and has a great balance. Black ink included and a selection of nibs. Arrives in presentation box which holds everything securely.
What a set.

Answer:
Hi. Bortoletti pens are really great products and very good value. I am so glad you agree. Kind regards, Jane.
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.
To change a nib in a Bortoletti dip pen, first pull the existing metal or glass nib straight out from the holder. If you are switching from a metal nib to a glass nib, you may also need to remove the small metal collar, or ferrule, from the tip of the holder using your fingernail. Once that is removed, slide the new nib into place and check that it is seated firmly and sitting straight so the ink flows properly.
There is also a helpful video from the Procincial Pen Co. showing how to change Bortoletti dip pen nibs here: Watch the video tutorial.
