An ingenious two-in-one design
The Tiepolo set brings together a calligraphy pen and a letter opener in one classy object. This clever combination makes it a practical accessory for the writing desk, allowing it to serve both as a tool for elegant correspondence and as a refined desk piece for opening letters with style.
Handcrafted decorated bronze pen
The bronze pen is made entirely by hand by skilled master craftsmen using the lost-wax casting technique. This traditional method gives the piece depth, detail, and a strong sense of artisan character, while the decorative finish reinforces its heritage-inspired appearance.
Inspired by jewellers’ sketches
Like all Bortoletti creations, the Tiepolo pen begins with sketches drawn on paper by master jewellers. This design-led approach gives the piece its distinctive balance of ornament, proportion, and function, creating a writing instrument that feels carefully considered from first concept to finished object.
Complete set with vintage nibs and ink
This calligraphy set includes three vintage nibs and calligraphy ink, making it ideal for practising fine-tip calligraphy and enjoying traditional dip pen writing. The different nibs allow you to explore variations in line and letterform, while the included ink makes the set ready for use.
Ideal for fine-tip calligraphy
The Tiepolo pen is especially suited to fine-tip calligraphy, making it an appealing choice for elegant handwriting, meaningful words, and decorative writing projects. It offers a pleasing way to enjoy the art of forming letters clearly and beautifully with traditional tools.
First-choice materials and artisan workmanship
First-choice materials and artisanal workmanship are central to the appeal of the Tiepolo set. Bortoletti’s emphasis on quality extends from material selection to the exploration of new combinations, helping create a calligraphy pen that feels original while remaining rooted in traditional making.
Gift-worthy presentation
The set is sold in an elegant gift box, making it an excellent present for calligraphers, writers, stationery lovers, and anyone who appreciates beautifully made desk accessories. Its unusual dual-purpose design adds extra interest for customers looking for a memorable and distinctive gift.
A decorative object for desk or study

Bortoletti Italian craftsmanship

Hi Vincent. No there are no extra charges. Shipping price is calculated for the total package weight.
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.
