Vintage Feather Quill Pen and Ink Set - Elegant Blue Feather Pen and Ink Set for Signatures, Writing, and Drawing - Calligraphy Kit with Stainless Steel Nib for Beginners and Calligraphy Enthusiasts

It was as described Why did you pick this product vs others?:it comes with an ink well and a pen holder it makes a nice decorative piece or you can actually write with it. It’s great when learning calligraphy.

Having fun learning how to write calligraphy. I’m using this at a Renaissance Festival to just sit around when I’m tired and just try and practice. Looks nice and old.

It was so fun! It worked just fine! It might be best to offer scratch paper if someone doesn’t know how to use. We had a pretend Declaration of Independence guest book that everyone signed and we had some big blogs of ink but I totally expected it. Great quality, pretty, and looked expensive.

This is a beautiful pen. The packaging is also very nice. I bought this as a gift so I am not sure how well it works. The quality is great for the price and my daughter loved the overall look of the gift.

I'm keeping in mind that this is a $13.45 item. It is inexpensive, so I'm trying to be forgiving. I mostly removed a star because of the packaging. The box has two very tight elastic rings where the pen should have been secured, but instead the pen was loose in the box and got lodged along the top which bent the feather. The elastic rings were so tight, that there's no way the pen could have come out on its own. I feel like someone at the factory was just lazy and threw it in there. Luckily, feathers can be bent back into place fairly well, any split in the feather can easily be put back together by gently pinching it and running your fingers along it. It's a natural feather, so it's going to be imperfect anyway. The pictures in the listing make them look unnaturally perfect.All of that aside, I think this is a pretty decent quill and ink set for beginners, like the listing says. I was initially disappointed with how inexpensive the metal pieces look and feel. The seam from the mold really stands out on both the pen and the holder. I especially don't care for how the pen rests in the holder. I would have liked it to be more snug and secure. But! I'm still keeping in mind that this item costs only $13 and change. I think it's good for what it is.As for how it works, I'm quite happy. First I tried the nub that came on it, and I was surprised how much I could write with just one dip! The line was very consistent, even when I stopped for a few seconds and then continued. I'm quite impressed. I tried one of the thicker nubs as well, and experienced the same. If you're new to using a quill and ink, just go slow and be patient. Don't over dip your pen, and keep practicing. :)For the price, I think this is a really great little set! Again, I would have given it five stars, but the packaging was just miserable. I purchased this to write in an old journal with handmade paper, and it's going to do the trick, so I'm happy enough. I do recommend this item.

I purchased this feather pen set for my daughter as a gift, and she loved it! Really great quality and the color of the feather is beautiful. Perfect for any stationary lover!

Got this as a gift for my son and he loves it and says it's cool.

I love using this product. The pen has good quality. It’s durable and nice.
