JACQUES HERBIN Fountain Pen Ink 10ml Winter Set x 5
JACQUES HERBIN 18504La Perle des Encres or The Jewel of Inks, Herbin inks have long been a favourite of many fountain pen connoisseurs. Besides their wide range of colours, these inks are especially popular due to the use of entirely natural dyes. The use of these dyes mean that these inks are of a neutral pH (non-acidic) and fast-drying.
This set of 5 inks is a great way of trying a few different colours. The Winter Collection comprises inks in shades of dark blue and grey: one each of Vert de Gris, Eclat de Saphir, Perle Noire, Poussiere de Lune and Gris Nuage. Each bottle contains 10ml of ink. Herbin started producing ink in 1670, making ink for King Louis XIV, the Sun King (or Le Roi Soleil) and other important French figures such as Victor Hugo (author of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Les Miserables").
