Jacques Herbin Ink bottle, 1670 Inks series Carob of Cyprus ink (with gold flecks)

The intense brown of the Carob of Cyprus ink is splattered with flame-like color reflections to give shine to its various writings.

Carob is grown in many countries, including Cyprus, where it was formerly called 'black gold' as, according to legend, its therapeutic virtues allowed people consuming it to reach a very old age.

Glass bottle of ink of 50 ml with gold flecks that don't clog the fountain pens.
