Jacques Herbin Éclat de Saphir Ink Bottle 30ml
Jacques Herbin Éclat de Saphir is a bright medium blue with a touch of violet. The name means sapphire sparkle. It shades only a little, so the line stays even from one word to the next.
It comes from La Perle des Encres, Herbin’s range of writing inks. They are water-based and finely filtered, so they flow freely without clogging a pen, and they suit fountain pens, rollerballs that take bottled ink, glass nibs and dip pens. Herbin has been making ink for over 350 years, and still makes these in France.
The 30 ml glass bottle has a groove along the top that doubles as a pen rest. We also stock it as a tin of six cartridges.
