Glass Dip Pen / Swirling Wind / Verdant Meadow / Luminescent Element

★ The pen barrel incorporates passive luminescent elements that absorb light and glow softly in the dark. This is not self-illumination. If the pen is kept in darkness, such as a drawer or box, it will not glow. Refer to Figure 4 for an example of the luminescent effect. One design per pen. Each pen is uniquely crafted and will differ from the next. Every pen displays subtle variations from the hand-fired process, (for example, the barrel and tip may not be perfectly straight, the surface may not be entirely smooth, some textured areas might have a raised or recessed feel, and the ink grooves may not be perfectly equidistant). Each glass pen possesses its own character, with distinct tactile feel, writing sensation, pattern flow, and length. [How to Use] Dip the nib into ink, up to 1/3 to more than half full, and begin writing. (Avoid striking the bottom of the ink bottle with the nib). The line thickness and writing feel vary depending on the angle of the pen. Some angles may not write smoothly; try finding an angle that suits your writing style. After use, simply rinse the nib with clean water. If residual ink remains in the crevices after rinsing, a soft-bristled toothbrush can be used for gentle cleaning. Allow to air dry before storing. Do not drop. ★ Some initial scratching of the paper may occur during the first few uses. ★ Do not remove the protective cap by pulling it straight off horizontally (this can damage the nib). Gently twist the cap in opposite directions to remove it. ★ Each pen will have unique, naturally occurring bubbles or bubble patterns. ★ Please use fountain pen ink. ★ For calligraphy practice, consider using traditional hard-copy calligraphy guides. ★ Includes a small ink bottle (5ml) + a display case. (★ As ink (liquid) cannot pass through customs for international shipping, a pen rest will be included instead of ink). ★ Repairs for damage will incur a fee based on the extent of the damage. (Complete shattering of the pen cannot be repaired). ★ We kindly request that you refrain from making assumptions based on imagination when purchasing. Thank you. ★ The creation period for each piece is 14 working days. International shipments may exceed this timeframe. Please consider this before ordering.
