I like glass dip pens too. They open up a whole world of not fountain pen safe inks. The shellack based inks that you often find in art supply stores, for instance. The metallic colors and the white are also great to try on black paper. If you use them be sure to have alcohol to clean the pen instead of water.
My wife gave me her old glass dip pen. You should try to dip it all the way in. It will hold a lot more ink. You can use fountain pen ink, but it might not work as well, depending on the particular ink. From what I hear, most glass pens work about the same. I think they're collected more for the variety of designs and colors. The blue and green inks you showed are wonderful. I think you forgot to show us the shimmer, though.

I liked this type of pen. If you know of any others I should do, let me know!

The shimmer on the paper was not showing up well enough. I know, I know, I need to purchase the proper paper! 😅
