J. Herbin 10Ml Bottle Size Question

[elevennx]

Are the J. Herbin 10ml bottles big enough to accommodate filling directly from the bottle with something like a TWSBI 580 or something with a larger nib, like a Platinum 3776 Century? I'm wondering about both the depth of the bottle and the width of the opening.

Where did you find the 10ml bottle? Are you thinking about the 100 ml bottle?

Sorry! I found them! C. S.

No problem, but for anyone else searching, jetpens sells them.

Here is a twsbi ECO in a 10ml bottle. It did not reach the bottom, pen was too wide. A Vac700 was too wide also.

A Lamy Al-Star. It did reach the bottom.

And a 3776 reached the bottom also.

Inside diameter is approx. 12.7mm or .5 inches.

Inside depth is approx. 47.3mm or 1.87 inches

 

I hope I was able to help.

 

PS. Forgive me for being so forward, but I know another vendor that has some J. Herbin 10ml in stock.

Wow, fantastic. Much more than I would have asked for -- thank you. This is very helpful.

If those 10 ml bottles were plastic (like the 100 ml) they would be nifty little travel bottles. But, looks like they're glass.

You are welcome, glad I could help.

Yes, they are glass. But they do make great bottles to share you favorite ink in.

They are glass. They're a great size for a color where you're sure you don't expect to use a full bottle in a reasonable time. And since a number of Herbin colors can be a little weird or hard to imagine using for writing, this is helpful. Extra helpful if you do art. Rouille d'Ancre and Ambre de Birmanie are two I'd almost say you need if you use fountain pen for life drawing class.
