How Do You Display Your Ink Bottles On Your Table?

[inkspot]

I have a beautiful felt-lined wooden box that my Dad made for me that I store my inks in. The box is gorgeous, and the inks look so lovely inside when I take off the lid.

Some of these descriptions of containers and furnishings for ink sound beautiful. Any chance of seeing pics of some of them?

I use this desk top organizer. The shelves are deep enough to hold two rows of ink bottles, and the drawers hold many more.

Blade Runner, that's a very neat-looking ink repository. I like it very much.

Blade Runner, very nice display... where did you get that organizer? Does it come in other colors?

[Blade Runner]

That's a Levenger product, but it's no longer produced.

- I keep mine in two drawers. I like to keep a clean desk, and I know that if I kept them on the desk I'd kick a few over one day and create a fabulous mess.

I keep my ink on the top deck of my Gerstner chest. I also keep them in the boxes.

I have a glass doored book case, full of pewter topped beer mugs(@60), and some pens stuff...and with only 14 bottles of ink...I still have place.

 

Because of the high price of cell phones, the youth of today can not afford beer mugs, and the price of them are in the cellar.

 

Well I still have some space, before I have to start giving wine drinkers beer mugs for birthdays , so I have space for my inks.

In a drawer. I am thinking of converting an unused humidor into an ink chest...

Mine are in a shelf of a Barristers type case.

that's a wicked ink collection

 

I only have 5 inks, so they just sit on the lowest shelf where the possibility of them falling down is the lowest.

 

Like BladeRunner's table drawer

I love the idea of displaying my inks, but my son, not quite seven years old, has high-functioning autism and impulse control issues. So, for now, my inks live in a plastic storage drawer under my bed. I will enjoy sharing them with him when he's a few years older.

My inks live in a set of rolling office drawers and also two 10 litre plastic boxes in a cupboard. If I put them all on my desk I'd have no desk left to use. I would like to display the ones in pretty bottles at some point but currently everything is being packed up to go into a shipping container to move so I will have to wait a while for that.

My Iroshizuku inks are on display on an Ikea bookshelf. In daylight but not direct sunlight. My other inks (in less pretty bottles) are stored in a Tupperware-type box in a kitchen cupboard.

All my inks stay in stacking plastic drawers in my office. The spot where I have my desk gets direct sunlight part of the day so I can't keep ink bottles out in the open. I have so much ink that it would probably take up my whole desk anyway so the bottles are neatly kept in the little drawers, one drawer for each brand.

[in the flow]

wow. Well, I just cleared my desk -- inspired by this thread. Instead of using valuable desktop space, mine are now visibly displayed (in daylight, but not direct light) on a bookshelf in front of the book spines. Later I plan to move them to a drawer or dark place.

That's a lovely display!
