For over 350 years, J. Herbin has been crafting fountain pen ink that writers, artists, and calligraphers trust. This 30ml bottle holds water-based, pH-neutral ink made from all-natural dyes — a formula so reliable it's barely changed since 1700.
The iconic "D" bottle (named after an old French unit of measure) is as elegant as it is practical, complete with a built-in pen rest. T
he ink flows beautifully through fountain pens, rollerball pens, glass nibs, and dip pens without clogging. Best of all, it's aquarellable — thin it with water and watch it bloom into soft, even colour gradients perfect for watercolour work.
Available in a stunning range of colours, each one made in France. Whether you're writing letters, sketching, or creating art, this is ink that's earned its place in stationery collections worldwide.
