The glass bottle, with its elegant design, holds a dye-based ink that flows smoothly from nib to paper, making every stroke a pleasure.

The colour is vibrant yet refined, suitable for both personal notes and creative projects.

Good to know

While the ink offers good lightfastness, it is not waterproof, so it is best used for documents that will not be exposed to moisture. The 50 ml glass bottle is a generous size, providing many refills, and the Edelstein range is known for its consistent quality. Always ensure your pen is clean before filling to maintain the ink's purity and performance.
