Kakimori Lauscha Glass Pen – Gray

Born from a desire for a glass pen that is beautiful to write with but has a casual appeal, this glass pen was brought to life in collaboration with glass artist Motoko Fujita, who trained in the glassblowing town of Lauscha in Germany. Lauscha, which is the birthplace of glass Christmas tree ornaments, is known for glass of disctinctive colors and clarity. This simple yet distinctive design has a shorter handle than a typical glass pen so that the writing experience feels closer to using a fountain or ballpoint pen. Each pen is individually handcrafted by a Lauscha glass artisan. Materials: Glass Also available in: Clear As each item is handcrafted, please expect slight variations in the specification or feel. To prevent the build-up of dry ink in the grooves of the nib, please rinse in water after each use. To remove stubborn dry ink, gentle scrub in water with a soft toothbrush.
