Inkwell "Calvados"

 Calvados is a distilled spirit made exclusively from apples in Normandy, France, and is one of the world's three great brandies along with Cognac and Armagnac.
Despite its high alcohol content of over 40%, it is characterized by its mellow apple aroma and rich flavor.

This inkwell is inspired by a delicate liquor glass used to enjoy Calvados with. 
One of the distinctive features of this inkwell is its lid, which looks like an apple perched on the glass.
By carefully removing this delicate lid, your nerves are calmed and your mind is led to a focus mode for writing.
 
We hope you can enjoy a relaxing time of reflection with this inkwell, as though you are enjoying a fine liqueur after a delicious meal.
The design of this inkwell was commissioned by Kimura Glass, which has a history of more than 100 years in Japan, and its manufacturing was done by a highly skilled glass factory in Hungary. The production of its beautifully curved form required the advanced skills of talented glass masters, and we couldn't be happier with their results.

The glass material is made of potassium carbonate glass, which has a higher level of clarity and is less prone to fogging than the soda glass commonly used in Japan.
Please enjoy the expert European craftsmanship of this thin, taut glass, as it holds your beautiful ink and takes you to a wonderful space of reflection and creativity.
