Crafted from polished mahogany and decorated with finely detailed bronze friezes, this elegant desk tool combines classic Italian design with practical functionality for calligraphers, writers, and fountain pen users.
A Traditional Tool for Drying Ink

The blotting paper can be easily replaced by unscrewing the top knob of the blotter. This simple mechanism allows you to insert fresh blotting paper whenever needed, ensuring the tool remains effective for everyday writing or calligraphy practice.

This is absolutely tiny - for your pencil case not your desk - but exquisitely and solidly crafted. I checked with the Italian firm made and this is actually made in Italy near Venice. The handle is lovely.

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.
