Quill Made of Glass

Like the goose quill before it, the glass quill is a historical writing implement which has been unfairly classified as a piece of decoration. In comparison with the goose quill it is considerably more convenient and comfortable to use and thanks to the helical "ink feed " on the nib, whole sentences may be written without returning to the inkwell for a refill. (With a goose quill, you are already due for a re-dip after a medium long signature.)
Each of the glass quills offered here is hand-blown in several work steps and therefore unique (the manufacturing process accounts for small deviations in size, shape and colour). Of special note is the refined artisanship needed to accomplish the shape of the quill: it's made in a capillary form which makes up for an ink reservoir. Made in Thuringia.
