JACQUES HERBIN 1670 Anniversary Ink 50ml Ocean Blue

The deep blue ink with a golden sheen recalls the sea voyages of Herbin to the Mughal Empire of India. In those days India was a primary supplier of indigo dye. Bleu Ocean takes its inspiration from those adventurous journeys.

J. Herbin 1670 collection celebrates 340 years of the alluring chronicles of J. Herbin, an inspiring French sailor of the 17th century. He made a number of voyages to India, collecting formulas and ingredients for his sealing wax and inks. He began making inks in his shop in Paris in 1700, beginning with the series “Ink of Ships” and “Jewel of Inks.” The sealing wax on the bottle is reminiscent of J. Herbin wax used for the Grand cru, or wines of France. The colour Stormy Grey is inspired by the dark and wild storms encountered by J. Herbin during his naval expeditions. The fine flecks of gold in the anthracite ink invoke strikes of lightning across the uncharted waters as well as its inexplicable and mysterious depths.
