OVERALL

---

I never fret over the bottle shape, because it's easy to use a syringe, pipette, or decant the ink for filling fountain pens. This is a beautiful orange ink, but it's not a particularly unusual color - not special, just gorgeous. There are likely other oranges that are easy to fill (bottle-wise).

Use the new side-by-side Ink Comparison Tool over at Anderson Pens to compare up to five inks at a time, including discontinued/vintage inks. The database is ever growing, with over 800 inks. WOW.
