on saleEmpty Bottle - Monteverde 90ml

I love these 90 ml bottles. I find them attractive looking and remind me of inkwell bottles. The neck of the bottle can accommodate any pen. It has a flat side on the widest part of the bottle which can be used to place a label. I plan to get as many as I need to use with other inks I currently own. Fantastic little bottle!

I do not know what I am going to use this for. Most likely just to look at for now. The bottles are works of art.

I had two bottles of Monteverde ink in bottles like this: one brown and one blue. Both bottles suffered from caps locking onto the bottles so they could not be opened. No doubt this was from dry ink. They did this even though I would wash the caps under running water and wipe the top of the bottles with a damp rag before putting the caps back on. To open the bottles I would generally have to soak them in hot water for over one hour. The last time even that did not help. I wrote Monteverde (Yafa) about this and received no reply. Yesterday I tried again to open one of the bottles. This time the cap split and blue ink went everywhere. I have not had this problem with other inks. Maybe it's the bottle. Maybe its there ink,

Yep, this is exactly what I've been looking for. See, I do location sketching and do watercolors, so I need to carry a small water supply with me that is stable and won't blow over in the wind. I was using a different maker's ink bottle since (that's the ink I use in my fountain pens), but it wasn't as stable and I was always nervous it would tip over. This bottle is the same volume but with a base is so wide that it's almost impossible to tip it.

Like many of you, my ink supply grows each month. A new color emerges and it seems my palette cannot survive without it. Many ink suppliers give no thought to aesthetics when designing the containers that hold their products. This is as it should be with the quality of the ink being foremost. Any of you who have sought more attractive, or maybe just better quality containers for inks that can cost as much as $1.00 per milliliter, look no further. Maybe you want to display your collection of color and white or black plastic jars won't cut it. Enter the Inky Bottle Collection from Goulet Pens.Bottles from most brands are available due to samples being repackaged for preview. They vary in price but when you have a half full bottle of ink, and the plastic cap shatters, the cost of obtaining a replacement to protect your ink investment seldom matters. Try to find a cap for a particular ink bottle. These bottles are available at Goulet.Back to the specific product: Monteverde Bottles. They are very attractive, are supplied in a box that has a convenient white space on the top to label the contents, and they are remarkably inexpensive. I have begun to stock a supply by adding one or two to each order.
