J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage (Wild Ivy Green) Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

In the year 1700, M. Herbin created The "Jewel of Inks" in his little shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain in Paris. The J. Herbin brand is therefore the oldest name in fine pen inks in the world. J. Herbin inks are pH Neutral and are comprised of All Natural dyes in their fountain pen inks. This natural composition and delicate balance of ingredients is the essence of any fine ink.

"Lierre Sauvage" is a very subtle green and a symbol of nature. Wild ivy is found on the façade of houses and often grows without being invited. Still, though uninvited the plant is enchanting and creates a fantastical allure, as does the ink inspired by its rich color.

Each bottle of 30 ml (1 oz) ink, known as "D bottle pen inks" is elegantly labeled and the bottle features an integrated pen rest area. The "D" refers to the old French unit of measure, "la Demi Courtine".
