Welcome aboard, Lisa! Ah, the Visconti Traveling Ink Pot... did you end up finding one? I like their designs but they are a bit pricey for what you get. Check out eBay, as you can find some cool vintage travel/portable ink pots/wells up for sale there. I picked up a cool bakelite one.

 

FPN is quite the place. Plenty to see and chat about. Everything and anything you'd ever want to know about pens, inks, and papers. I hope you have fun here. :) So you're a newbie here but not to pendom, eh? What are your favs to write with?

Thanks, Gary. I did check out eBay and Google, and after getting feedback from various Ink Pot owners who raved about them, I ordered one from Pear Tree Pens via this network last week.

Or... we'll see. Heh.

Sorry I'm late in arriving to this particular little party but by the sounds of it you will be fine here ! :thumbup:

 

So a big hello from Dublin in Ireland !

 

Your pen purchases will increase !

 

We all deny it ... No honestly I'm just looking... oh and there's a nice ink... and I wonder what pen that is... I haven't seen one of those before... that looks nice ... I wonder how that pen writes ... and so on and so on .....

 

Sorry - temporary diversion there ! It seems to happen quite a bit when I wander in to FPN !

 

Best wishes

 

Helen

 

By the way I think that desk you commented on earlier in this thread is a type of desk known as a Davenport.

Hello, Dublin! Hello, Helen! Yes, my pen purchases, which had been in a years-long lull, have picked up slowly. I've even started trying other colors of ink again. [blinks in surprise, like What? Me?]

 

I really do feel as if I've found my tribe. And other surprises!

 

This is the best place in the whole. Wide. Web.

 

Thanks for the hearty welcome!

 

Lisa

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
