Honey Bee Glass Dip Pen

The Honey Bee Glass Dip Pen features a warm amber body with a delicate honeycomb pattern and a tiny bee resting near the center. Toward the nib, the glass shifts into a golden drip—evoking honey gently flowing from the hive. Even the nib itself is tinted with a soft honey color, perfectly complementing the overall design.

Compact and rounded, it fits comfortably in the hand and adds a gentle touch of warmth and charm to any desk. It also comes with a wooden display stand, ideal for keeping the pen in place when not in use—both for showcasing and for preventing it from rolling off your desk. Expertly handcrafted using traditional Japanese burner work, this glass dip pen highlights both creativity and technical skill. Whether you're journaling or pairing it with your favorite Japanese stationery, it brings a sweet buzz of joy to your writing time.

Where Glass Dip Pens Become Tiny Living Creatures

Minoru Kojima studied crafts at Tama Art University, one of Japan’s top art schools. In 2018, her graduation project, “Glass Creatures,” featured animals in tiny clothes. Each had its own personality and story.

When working at the torch, she enters an imaginative world—like a child playing with toys. Through the focused dance of flame and glass, she brings each creature to life.

Her glass dip pens feature a range of animals, from dumbo octopuses and frogs to geckos, insects, and birds. She aims to create pieces only she can imagine, shaped with a unique sense of charm.

Minoru’s pens are made to be written with—and admired. Each one brings joy, whether in use or quietly resting on your desk. We’re proud to share the work of such a talented young artist.
