About This Product
Bortoletti Hand-Chiselled Glass & Bronze Inkwell Cal40 is a beautifully crafted Italian inkwell featuring finely worked bronze detailing and a traditional glass reservoir. Designed with Bortoletti’s signature front pen rest, this elegant desk accessory combines function and artistry, making it ideal for calligraphers, collectors and luxury gift buyers.
Bortoletti Hand-Chiselled Glass & Bronze Inkwell Cal40
When master artisans and skilled bronze craftsmen collaborate, the result is something truly special. The Bortoletti Cal40 inkwell is a handmade Italian creation combining hand-chiselled glass with finely worked white bronze, offering both practical function and timeless desk elegance.
Designed for Calligraphers
This inkwell holds approximately 30ml of ink and features a secure screw cap to protect your ink when not in use. The distinctive front pen rest — a signature element of Bortoletti design — allows you to rest your dip pen safely between strokes, keeping your workspace clean and organised.
Italian Craftsmanship & Heritage
Each piece is individually handmade in Italy using carefully selected raw materials. The decorative bronze base and detailing are finely worked to create a refined yet characterful appearance. No two pieces are identical, making every inkwell unique.
Inkwells have been part of writing history since Ancient Egypt, evolving through Roman and medieval periods into treasured desk objects. The Cal40 continues this tradition — not merely as a container for ink, but as a statement of craftsmanship and appreciation for the art of writing.
A Refined Desk Accessory or Gift
Whether paired with a dip pen, used alongside Bortoletti inks, or displayed as part of a traditional writing set, this inkwell adds heritage charm to any workspace. It is particularly suited to:
- Calligraphy enthusiasts

Elegant, practical and timeless — the Bortoletti Cal40 inkwell is designed for those who value craftsmanship and the ritual of writing.
