Before the ink is dry...
It's always a delight when shiny new ink bottles arrive, ready to be placed on their pedestals in the shop. The array of colours and glass bottle shapes and designs are a source of inspiration in themselves. See our Reverie for delightful treasures from the past.
I recently found an old bottle of black ink from my dad's university days, which I'm planning to use in a pen and try out. It's lovely when a small glass jar can become a physical reminder of a loved one, an object of beauty and a practical vessel, all in one.
