Bortoletti Glass & Bronze Inkwell Cal50 with Hamburg Ink
The Bortoletti Cal50 inkwell is an elegant example of Italian design, handcrafted by master Venetian artisans. Glass and finely worked bronze combine in a rounded, jewel-like form that feels both substantial and refined on any writing desk.
Generous 50ml Capacity
With a 50ml ink capacity, the Cal50 is ideal for regular calligraphy practice or studio use. The wide neck of the glass bottle allows easy dipping for nib holders and traditional dip pens, while the bronze screw cap provides an excellent seal to protect the ink between sessions.
Includes Hamburg Calligraphy Ink
This inkwell includes high-quality Bortoletti – Hamburg calligraphy ink, known for its rich pigmentation and strong colour retention once dry. The Cagliostro black ink evokes the mystery and depth of alchemical tradition, producing bold, expressive lettering with excellent flow.
Careful selection of raw materials and attention throughout the production process ensure consistent performance for demanding calligraphers.
Italian Craftsmanship & Timeless Form
Designed in Atelier A70 in Venice, the Cal50 reflects a balance between artisan heritage and modern geometric harmony. The rounded silhouette, bronze detailing and precise finishes result from collaboration between artisans and master jewellers.
Every detail is carefully refined — from the smooth glass contours to the hand-finished bronze elements — creating a piece that is both functional and decorative.

Hello Tim,
The inkwells now come with ink contained in a separate bottle for safey during shipping. So your inkwell will never have contained ink and should be great for your purposes. If you still wish to order it, just let me know at the checkout comments box and I won't send the ink.
Kind regards,
Jane
