Handcrafted wooden pen with bronze detail

The Donato pen combines the natural warmth of wood with a decorative bronze nib holder, creating a writing instrument with an elegant and timeless appearance. This pairing of materials gives the pen a comfortable feel in the hand while reinforcing its heritage-inspired character and artisan appeal.

Complete set with vintage nibs and Hamburg ink

This calligraphy set includes three vintage nibs and a 15 ml bottle of high-quality Hamburg calligraphy ink, giving you the essentials needed to begin writing straight away. The variety of nibs makes the set more versatile for exploring different writing preferences and developing confidence with traditional calligraphy tools.

Ideal for English calligraphy and traditional scripts

The Donato wooden pen is ideal for dabbling in various writing styles. Fine-point nibs are especially suited to English calligraphy, where the flexibility of the nib allows changes in pressure to create the elegant light-and-dark contrast seen in English cursive. Truncated nibs, cut transversely in the style of a traditional quill, are suited to broader formal scripts such as round hand, ancient Gothic, modern Gothic, and Italic.

A practical introduction to calligraphy tools

Calligraphy nibs and nib holders are essential tools for practising the art of beautiful writing. The Donato set gives you a practical way to become familiar with how different nibs behave on the page, helping you build control, rhythm, and consistency as you form letters with beauty and grace.

Elegant desk presence

With its wooden body, bronze detail, and classic styling, the Donato pen brings understated elegance to the desk. It is equally suited to regular writing practice, meaningful handwritten words, or simply being displayed as a tasteful heritage-inspired desk accessory.

    How do I swap a glass nib for a steel nib in the Bortoletti dip pens?

    To change a nib in a Bortoletti dip pen, first pull the existing metal or glass nib straight out from the holder. If you are switching from a metal nib to a glass nib, you may also need to remove the small metal collar, or ferrule, from the tip of the holder using your fingernail. Once that is removed, slide the new nib into place and check that it is seated firmly and sitting straight so the ink flows properly.

    There is also a helpful video from the Procincial Pen Co. showing how to change Bortoletti dip pen nibs here: Watch the video tutorial.
