What a beautiful, old fashioned, writing instrument. I use my blue glass dip pen to write notes to my wife on special occasions.

I enjoy using a dip pen for cards and notes. This is a beautiful pen of the Italian model. Great fun to use and gives such a nice effect on quality stationary.

It is one of the best writing experiences I've ever had

The pen was beautifully packaged and shipped, and beautiful itself, and at first I thought it was going to be fine, using it just for ink sampling � but the third time I used it, I cracked off the tip. I'm not sure if sanding would make it usable again, and I'll try, I suppose, but my next dip pen will be made of something less fragile, since I don't seem capable of using a light enough touch on these.

This glass pen is the thing to have when testing ink samples or anything in between. This pen holds ink, enough for writing several lines. The pen was packaged with care. You can't beat GPC. Highly recommend

I like to see how inks look on different paper types and this is pretty good for it. It shipped just fine, I haven't had any issues with it. It holds enough ink to write several lines and you can always sand the tip to change your writing experience ( you don't need to though). Athough I don't use it for normal writing, I'd imagine it does just fine.

This dip pen, although being my first, is of excellent quality, great clear blue color, and very smooth writing, right out of the box. No nib sanding needed with this one. I will probably use this mainly for testing ink samples, but you could really write for a long period of time with this pen, as it is very comfortable in the hand, easy to grip, and writes very smooth regardless which ink you choose this pen will give you nice crisp continuous lines... That is until you have to dip the pen in ink for a refill for continual writing sessions. You cannot go wrong with this dip pen, the price is great, and the colors are excellent.

Writes nicely, but takes a little getting used to. Arrived securely packaged. It's a great way of taking quick notes or sampling inks. You can write a few full sentences per dip. It's easy to clean and looks classy when displayed on my desk. I recommend this product.

I was surprised how long this pen writes with one dip. It is very fun and I really enjoy it. I thought you would have to dip every few words, but it is more like every couple of sentences.

It writes well, just takes some getting used to

I bought this pen because of beauty novelty but wow, it is a great pen. The ink delivery is amazingly consistent. Here's a sample on French ruled paper that shows tiny and large text.

For $24 this glass dip pen is a gem! Just the novelty of being able to use a dip pen made of glass has caused me to use this almost exclusively since I purchased it. I have 6 other pens, all fountain pens, that range from $350 to $10 and this has been my go to lately. It does have one small spot on the nib that is touch rough and scratchey but nothing that a fine sandpaper of 400 grit wont smooth down. I can write several lines with one dip before having to re-dip. This is a great pen to use with inks that may clog up or cause problems with fountain pens. It does apply fairly heavy in the first several words, but I like a good broad or stub nib, so I am thrilled with that. I will definitely purchase more of these!

It was a Christmas gift for my daughter. She loves it.

Great pen overall, and it writes well. Glass pens tend to be a little more scratchy than metal nibs, but they are quite convenient. This pen is easy to dip and holds much ink, but the large bulb and smaller bulb difference in size can make it feel a little weird to hold, and sometimes awkward until you get used to it.

Love this glass pen. Writes smoothly and for a few sentences. Comes in a nice box where it will safely live on my desk.

I felt somewhat apprehensive using the Dip Pen for the first time. It was so delicate. Yet, I was anxious to use the proper tool for the proper task. Once I got the hang of it, it became a fun experience to use the Dip Pen to test the different ink colors. Even though I was not to get ink on myself I still managed to do so. I keep a handy jar of water near by and the Dip Pen to use at the moments notice.

This is my very first glass dip pen and I've been using it for testing ink samples. You can write with a single dip for quite some time, at least longer than I had expected, and it puts down quite a wet line. It looks good, feels nice in the hand and is easy to clean, which is what I had hoped for.

I bought this pen thinking to use it for shimmers, but what I ended up using it for was to play with ink samples. Mine is very smooth when oriented just right to the page, scratcher if not. It feels good in the hand and I enjoy enough that I'll probably use it for actual writing from bottles or a well, but it's a little too large to get to bottom of sample vials.

I enjoy using the glass dip pen to sample new inks. I've used the Goulet Micro Mesh 12000 grit to smooth the very tip of this pen with good results. I always learn a lot watching the informative videos on the Goulet Pens website. Excellent purchase.

I am enjoying getting used to my glass dip pen! It's so beautiful that I'm enjoying using it, and it's also fun to write with.

Its a great way to use multiple inks without having to clean it out and fill up a converter. wish there were more is stock
