Bortoletti Grimani Murano glass calligraphy set with silver leaf for elegant handwriting
The Bortoletti Grimani Murano glass calligraphy set with silver leaf is a refined writing set created for those who appreciate traditional handwriting, Italian craftsmanship, and decorative desk accessories. Handmade in the Bortoletti laboratory by expert master glassmakers, this elegant set combines lampworked Murano glass, silver leaf detail, quality ink, and a selection of nibs to create a writing instrument that is both practical and visually distinctive.
Perfectly balanced and made in Venice, the Grimani set is designed for anyone who enjoys handwriting in a variety of calligraphy styles. It offers a rewarding writing experience while also serving as a striking heritage-inspired addition to the desk.
Handmade Murano glass with silver leaf detail
The Grimani pen is handcrafted from Murano glass with silver leaf fused into the glass by Bortoletti master craftsmen. Produced through traditional lampworking, each pen carries its own artisan character and reflects the elegance and decorative style associated with Venice and Murano glassmaking.
Available in nine glass colours
This calligraphy set is available in nine attractive Murano glass colours: Black, Blue, Red, Ivory, Amber, Turquoise, Amethyst, Green, and Aquamarine. This colour range allows you to choose a Grimani pen that suits your personal style or complements other writing tools and desk accessories.
Complete writing set with ink and nibs
The set includes a 15 ml bottle of Hamburg calligraphy ink and a selection of nibs for different writing uses. Three perfectly functioning vintage nibs complete the set, and the writing set also includes three fine-tip nibs for expressive handwriting and detailed work. This combination gives the Grimani set flexibility for both practice and more decorative calligraphy projects.
Suitable for English calligraphy and traditional scripts
The fine-tipped nib is especially suited to English calligraphy. Its distinctive flexibility, created by the shape and groove of the nib, allows pressure to vary on the downward stroke and produces the elegant light-and-dark contrast associated with cursive writing. Broader truncated nibs, cut transversely in the manner of a traditional quill, are suitable for other established scripts including circular hands, ancient Gothic, modern Gothic, and Italic writing.
A balanced pen for regular use
This Murano glass calligraphy pen is designed to feel balanced and comfortable in the hand, making it suitable for regular writing practice as well as occasional decorative work. Whether you are learning the foundations of calligraphy or developing a more confident hand, the Grimani set provides a graceful way to work with traditional dip pen tools.
How to prepare the nib before first use
When using a nib for the first time, it is recommended to remove the protective varnish applied during manufacture. This can be done by gently heating the nib with a small flame before use. Once prepared, the nib will hold ink more effectively and perform as intended on the page.
Gift-ready presentation
The calligraphy pen is sold in an elegant gift box finished with a gold hot-stamped logo. This presentation makes the Grimani set especially suitable as a gift for calligraphers, writers, stationery enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates beautifully made Italian writing accessories.
Inspired by the traditions of calligraphy
Before using any calligraphy pen, it is helpful to understand the style you want to practise, apply its rules consistently, and become familiar with the tools involved. The Grimani set supports that journey by offering a traditional writing instrument connected to the historic techniques of handwritten letterforms and the enduring pleasure of learning to write with care and style.
Bortoletti Italian craftsmanship
Bortoletti is known for creating elegant writing instruments and desk accessories inspired by Venice, Murano glass artistry, and traditional decorative workmanship. The Grimani Murano glass calligraphy set reflects that heritage through its handcrafted glass body, silver leaf detail, and careful presentation. It is a writing set that combines practical function with the beauty of Venetian craftsmanship.
