Some years ago, I acquired a beautiful Murano glass Bortoletti calligraphy pen. The pen has a bronze nib holder. After some years, the lining inside the nib holder came out and was lost. Since then, I have not been able to use the pen or replace the part. Is there something you can recommend to help me out? Thanks !
Hi Nicole,
The part you are needing is called a ferrule. They are a simple push fit into the main bronze section of the pen. I do have some available. They only cost £2.50 plus postage. Please let me know where you are located, and I can send you a proper quote for payment if you wish.
Kind regards,
Jane Lappage

In looking at your glass lamp burners for heating the wax I read that it is best to use alcohol. Is this better than lamp oil and if so what kind of alcohol? Drinking? Rubbing? And what percentage?
Thank you for asking. Bortoletti recommends using 90% pure alcohol or denatured alcohol for a stable, odourless flame.
For example: https://www.thesoapkitchen.co.uk/denatured-ethanol
We do not sell this as it requires specialist posting, but it is freely available at many hardware and cosmetic accessory stores.
Hi Trina.
The Bortoletti ball pens accept refills from a number of suppliers and manufacturers. For example:
CROSS Ball Pen Refill Standard Fine Black 8514
Schneider 785 Medium Black Ballpoint Pen Refill
Here's one supplier in the UK https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/schneider-785-medium-black-ballpoint-pen-refill/4004675026750.html
or on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/CROSS-Refill-Standard-Black-8514/dp/B01BVZEZPI?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1
I hope that helps you.
Kind regards,
Jane
A left-handed nib in calligraphy is a nib that is designed to be used by left-handed calligraphers. It is typically angled slightly to the right, so that the ink flows smoothly and does not smudge when the calligrapher writes from left to right. Left-handed nibs are available in a variety of materials, including steel, gold, and platinum. They can be purchased from a variety of online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Here are some of the benefits of using a left-handed nib in calligraphy:
- Reduced smudging: When a left-handed calligrapher uses a regular nib, the ink can easily smudge on the paper as they write from left to right. This can be frustrating and can make it difficult to create clean, crisp lines. A left-handed nib is designed to reduce smudging, so that calligraphers can create beautiful, legible work.
- Improved comfort: A left-handed nib is designed to be held in a comfortable position for left-handed calligraphers. This can help to reduce fatigue and pain in the hand and wrist.
- Increased accuracy: A left-handed nib can help calligraphers to write more accurately. This is because the nib is angled to the right, so that it is easier to control the flow of ink.
If you are a left-handed calligrapher, I encourage you to try using a left-handed nib. You may be surprised at how much easier it makes it to create beautiful, legible work.
