Bortoletti Pisani Murano glass calligraphy set for elegant handwriting
The Bortoletti Pisani Murano glass calligraphy set is a refined writing kit created for those who appreciate traditional handwriting, decorative desk accessories, and Italian craftsmanship. Combining a beautifully balanced Murano glass pen with calligraphy ink and a selection of nibs, this set offers both practical writing performance and strong visual appeal.
Made in Venice by skilled Bortoletti artisans and master glassmakers, the Pisani set brings together heritage materials, decorative detail, and a timeless writing experience. It is equally suitable for learning formal lettering styles, enjoying handwritten correspondence, or displaying on a desk as an object of character and beauty.
What is included in the set
This exclusive calligraphy kit includes a single-colour lampworked Murano glass pen, a 15 ml bottle of calligraphy ink, two fine-tip nibs, and three vintage-style nibs. The variety of nibs makes the set versatile for different writing preferences and allows you to explore a range of letterforms and line styles.
Handmade Murano glass pen
The pen is produced through traditional lampworking in the Bortoletti laboratory, where expert master glassmakers shape the Murano glass by hand. The single-colour finish gives the pen an elegant and distinctive appearance, while the craftsmanship behind each piece ensures that every pen carries its own artisan character.
Bronze decorative metalwork
The pen is assembled with a decorative bronze nib holder cast using the lost wax process, a traditional technique associated with fine Italian metalwork. This gives the pen both visual richness and a reassuring sense of quality in the hand, helping to create a writing instrument that feels balanced, comfortable, and distinctive.
Ideal for a range of calligraphy styles
The Pisani pen is well suited to anyone who enjoys writing by hand and wants to practise different calligraphic styles. With its selection of nibs, it is especially useful for English calligraphy and other traditional pointed or fine writing styles. It also makes a lovely tool for writing meaningful words, place cards, notes, and decorative pieces.
A writing tradition with historic roots
Calligraphy has deep historical roots, reaching back centuries to the early use of the quill pen. Over time, the shaping of pen tips for different hands and scripts led to the development of metal nibs and modern dip pen writing. The Pisani set reflects that long tradition, offering a contemporary way to enjoy an art form that remains valued for its beauty, discipline, and personal expression.
Elegant desk appeal
As well as being a practical writing set, the Pisani calligraphy kit makes a striking decorative addition to a desk, studio, or study. The glow of Murano glass and the detail of the bronze fitting give it a heritage-inspired appearance that feels both artistic and luxurious.
Gift-ready presentation
The set is presented in an elegant cardboard box with a hot-stamped Bortoletti logo, making it especially suitable for gifting. It is a thoughtful choice for calligraphers, writers, stationery lovers, and anyone drawn to beautifully made Italian desk accessories.

I bought this for a stained glass wiz who was struggling to find a dip pen that would stand up against the medium he is using for painting glass. The presentation of the box is impeccable and impressive… I can’t wait for Christmas Day to present it to him!
