Dear fellow members,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I love using blue ink, but am looking for a cobolt blue or the blue you get on Wedgewood china plates. Currently use Waterman Florida, Cross or MB royal blue, but not what Im looking for. Something more vibrant but without the need for sunglasses.

Thanks in advance

Baystate blue is probably closest, actually.

How about Diamine China Blue? It's not intense, but I think the point of the name is that it simulates the blue in china quite well.
