Description
An assortment of contemporary and vintage writing instruments comprising several sets and individual pieces. The collection includes a TCM Kalligraphie-Set in its original German-market packaging, containing three fountain pens, interchangeable steel nib sections, ink cartridges, and an instructional booklet. A blue presentation case houses two glass dip pens; one crafted from solid blue and black twisted glass with a spirally grooved nib, and the other featuring a multi-coloured Venetian glass body with yellow, green, and blue latticinio-style decoration, accented by red and light-blue beads and fitted with a white metal ferrule and steel nib. This set retains a red and gold foil label inscribed MADE IN Murano ITALY. Also included is a translucent blue glass dip pen with a twisted grip section in a green textured case, and a mid-20th-century three-piece desk set in purple resin. This vintage set comprises a letter opener with a gold-toned blade, a dip pen holder, and a wax seal stamp, housed in a velvet-lined case. A further plastic tray contains components for a Reform Calligraphy set, including a barrel, various coloured nib units, and cartridges.
Vintage desk set case: 19.5 cm x 7.5 cm
Blue presentation case: 24 cm x 5 cm
TCM packaging: 24 cm x 17.5 cm.
Condition report:
The TCM set and glass pens appear in very good to excellent condition with no visible damage to the glass nibs. The vintage purple desk set instruments are in good order, though their presentation case shows notable age-related foxing and staining to the internal silk lining and external wear. The Reform Calligraphy components are in used condition.
