This is a quality writting instrument. On top of being a captivating desk piece, It utilizes a superior American made HUNT extra fine Bowl Tip. This Nib always writes smoothly even on common wood pulp paper. Any calligrapher will tell you that most quills will grab, scratch, spray, and pick up pulp as you write. Bowl Tips eliminate this problem, and can be used by any novis with great ease. This item also eliminates mess. Quill pens will often leave your fingers covered in ink. This problem arises when you lay your pen down. Ink leaks from the tip on to the stem, then the next time you pick it up, you get it all over your fingers. Even some traditional pen holders will transfer wet ink on to the stem. By placing your quill back on to the special mirrored base, your pen stays pointed down, and your ink stays in the tip. Writing Example.Most of the pen work on the parchment in the product photographs was done using a Hunt extra fine Bowl Tip. The same quality tip utilized by this pen. Makes a great gift! Do you know an artist or a writer? This item will be greatly appreciated by any writer or artist. Even if it is never used for writting, it is a great symbol of there craft. It will also be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates the strange and unusual, or who has a flair for the old world. Theory Of Writing By Hand.With an increase in technology, communication has become mundane. You can send a factory stamped card, or an e-card, e-mail, or text a cell phone. Hand written letters have nearly become a thig of the past, They are now something special. They communicate beyond the words, and show a person how much you care about them. They take time, and are produced by your own hand, and require some level of penmanship, not just a key stroke. People are finding ways to make there writing even more special by reverting from a modern ball point pen, to a classic quill. Quills provide a much broader range of writting capability. Bold sweeping curves, and ribbon like flourishes produced by these pens of old transform your words in to art, and and say something that electronic text never will.  USE FOR: art, writing, scrap-booking, guest books, weddings, or ceremonies of any kind. impress your friends, or amuse yourself.   SIZE:                                                              ~ For reference, the parchment used in photos is 11"X14"~                            * Quill =       11 Inches (Due to natural variation feathers will range from 10" to 12" We try to keep them close to 11")                             * Base =      6.5 Inches                            * Mirror =     5 Inches                                                                           Happy Bidding!
