A new limited fountain pen ink line from TWSBI! This frosted glass bottle contains 18ml of Prairie Green fountain pen ink.

The series name 1791 comes from a famous book written in 1791 in China, called "The Dreams of the Red Chamber". TWSBI picked names for each of these inks in Chinese from this book. In English, the names just describe the color of the ink, however, in Chinese, it comes from 6 famous buildings described in this book.

One of my favorites

Pleasantly surprised with this ink. I'm a big fan of green ink, including the lighter shades and this one has a really lovely grass green color, though it fares on the lighter side. The consistency is unusual, not wet, but almost juicy and viscous like a gel pen, especially in my medium TWSBI Eco. I enjoy the consistency and the writing experience, so no issues there. Flows fine for me, a readable but light color, and an adorable little frosted glass bottle. Had to buy an extra one for keeps.

Lovely ink, but.

It is a little too light for the match I was hoping to make. I will use it.

Pretty color but doesn't seem to write well

It's a pretty color, but it doesn't appear to write very well. Bought a medium TWSBI 700R to go with it and at first was super disappointed. The pen was scratchy and wasn't producing the same writing joy as the ECO, Mini, and Iris Vac pens. I dumped that first fill and tried a different ink. The 700R writes beautifully with the Colorverse ink I put in it. So, I tried this TWSBI ink in another pen, this time with a fine nib and it still writes scratchy. The ink pools in certain parts of various letters and doesn't seem to flow very well at all. The ink appears to be very wet so I would have thought that it would write better. I'll try a few other pens I have and update if it gets any better. The color itself is very nice and I'm in love with the dark blue TWSBI so I don't really know what's up with the green. Changing paper quality didn't help at all.

Lovely bright ink

This is a very clear, bright ink that flows fast and shows up well enough to be an everyday ink (at least with broad nibs and a flex nib, I haven't tried it with fine nibs. It seems to dry very quickly and doesn't run off on my hand at all as I'm writing (I'm a lefty). I love it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink.

You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
