Message in a bottle

Recycled glass mouth-blown bottle from Visby Glasblåseri filled with your own bespoke message written in dip pen calligraphy on handmade paper.

Pick a special memory, a favourite poem or a simple message to preserve in this beautiful bottle.

Tips on choosing your message

The bottles are clear, with more or less of a green tinge. They all slightly differ in shape and dimensions due to their handmade nature but are around 140mm high by 95mm wide. I will choose a bottle for you to best fit the format and size of your message.

All messages will be written on off-white Khadi handmade paper in either dark brown walnut ink or black sumi ink (you’ll be able to select your chosen ink after you click ‘add to cart’).

Format

There are two format options (chosen after clicking ‘add to cart’):

• Paper strip, for messages up to 56 characters
  The length of the strip will depend on the length of your chosen message (see pictures).
  The paper strip will be positioned so that your message can be read without having to take it out.

• Roll, for messages up to 180 characters
  The paper roll will measure approximately 9.5cm in width by 12 to 14cm in length (depending on bottle size and text supplied). It will be rolled with the writing on the outside and tied with string. It can easily be removed from the bottle to be read in full.

Character limit

You will be able to enter the text for your message after clicking ‘add to cart’. Please make sure you do not exceed the limit for your chosen format, as it will delay your order. If you would like a longer message please email me at hello@inkysquare.com to discuss before you place an order.
