Which Ink Would You Buy Just For The Bottle?

Rubinato ink.

Saw the bottle last week in a shop, and it was so nice that I bought it without testing the ink.

 

I'd buy this ink just for the bottle! Haven't found this one in multiple internet searches. Was that shop in Italy?

Yesterday I went in to a beautiful shop called Penfriend in Fleet Street, London (http://www.penfriend.co.uk). I thought I had died and woken in Pen Heaven! Hats off to the owners for creating such a beautiful shop.

 

However, I had to resist the almost overwhelming urge to spend a lot of money and sated my retail needs with some of bottles of Diamine Ink. It was an interesting dilemma as I was blown away by the very attractive packaging of the Caran d'Ache chromatic inks.They are simply delightfully presented inks but they sell at £28. The Diamine was selling for £9 so in the end I resisted the allure of the Caran d'Ache and went for the less extravagantly packaged but value for money Diamine.

 

However, I am now regretting my self control!

I have some Noodler's inks that I bought primarily for the bottles (well, the labels on the bottles). I'd like to display them on shelves, along with some Akkerman, Montblanc, Caran d'Ache, etc, when I've finally used up all the ink. Every time I ink a pen with them I try to channel the mental clarity and still hands of a brain surgeon so as not to get any ink on the labels.

For me Iroshizuku or the new Caran D' Ache bottles, just love both of them.
