That's the problem with the newer issues. A. the plastic bottles are of course less aesthetic than the glass bottles (IMO). B. The older boxes -- of the older bottles -- were so well constructed that once you managed to get the lid off without a spill, you could still insert the bottle back into the box and fill from there.

 

Wrack!

Just wondering, does anybody know if the bottles are glass, or, as usual today, plastic? And the usual 40 ml? I have a few 75 ml bottles of the Visconti oldies.

I'm still amazed that those beautiful glass bottles are no longer made.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Received the pen and ink a few weeks ago and love it! :bunny01: mine is a fine nib and writes beautifully. My writings with the ink aren't as vibrant but that may be more about the fine nib then the ink. Love it just the same. :thumbup:

EEEEK!:P

 

 

I know, right? :bunny01:

My shop only ordered a bottle of purple for me and one to test. I'm sure Art Brown and Fahrney's will be getting it as well.

And maybe Pen Boutique? Let's hope so!

Maybe if several calls are made from potential customers there will enough stock to go around....

Yes, but will they have Visconti Purple?

 

 

I would think if you called them, or anyone whos sells Visconti products you should be able to locate a bottle. The availablitlity info came from one of the Visconti reps for the US.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
