Oblique Love Letters 3 Dinky Dip Ink Bottles with Empty Ink jar Holder - Calligraphy Ink Wells with lids for Calligraphy Pen, Fountain Pen, Glass dip Pen, and dip Pen Holder

This is a 4.5 star product for me, I like these but am picky-picky and would like them more if they were just ever-so-slightly deeper and just a hair wider, too....For reference, I use a Tachikawa T-40 holder and mainly Japanese-made pointed nibs (school, spoon, G, mapping, etc.,) for sketching. The distance between the tip and the breather hole/vent on some of these nibs--the area you dip Into the ink-- is just a little too long, a bit too much real estate, to make the shallow size of these dinky dip jars as practical as I'd hoped. These will be awesome for travel, since the threads on the lid can be tightened quite securely, but I'd hoped to use these as an everyday item, in-studio. Jury is still out about that tho: I feel like I'm going to be adding ink into the jars more often than I'd like (to keep the level totally full to the top) or greedily tipping the jars, on each dip, out of fear of an an under-inked pen. Again, this doesn't apply to every nib I own, but just FYI that some nibs may not pair as well with this size/capacity of jar.Lastly, the silicone cups, the real selling point for me, fit REALLY snugly around the bottles. Too snug, IMO. I have to work and work to get each jar to sit perfectly upright, mine always seem crooked and I really have to strong-arm 'em in. Maybe, in time, the silicone will relax some... tho of course it's far better they're too tight than not snug enough.I have not tested the suction power of the silicone, can't vouch for it, because I use a weird, absorbent little box as the resting space during live ink sketching. I'd assume this silicone would best stick to very smooth/very clean plastic surfaces vs the old oily, pitted wooden desks some artists may favor.The price point is a bit steep vs what you're really getting here, materials wise there's absolutely nothing fancy, but the sweet and high quality packaging makes up for that.

Cute little packaging 💕 I got an extra dinky dip as a free gift :) Love that each one has its own rubber suction base that prevents it from moving around on the table top when dipping the pen!

These little vials and vial holders are so useful. I use the holders every day for holding my chosen ink sample to write my journal entry with a dip pen. The vial stays firmly in the holder so no messy ink spill catastrophes! I find that just moistening the bottom of the holder helps a lot to keep the holder in place on the work surface. And I have a glass work surface which also encourages great suction and stability. Well done!

This works so much better than having to keep my large ink bottle open all the time. Thanks for the quick shipment and extra ink well!

These are perfect and I'm actually using my glass dip pen more now. The size is excellent, the size that's needed; it's deep enough to dip the pen but small enough you're not having to pour too much ink. I can cap it off for another time and because there are three I can rotate between ink colors. The suction cups used to hold the ink are very stable. The seller ships with care and even included a larger sample-size ink bottle with a lid. This seller cares about their customers.
