Ooo. That's nice, too.  Curse them for having neat bottles that aren't for sale anywhere!   It must be the "ears" bottle everyone was talking about in Visvamitra's review.

 

Thanks for the additional info, ASD.   For those of us in the US, Amazon and vintage-y bottle it is.  For the rest of the world, I guess you'll have to hunt, or contact them and ask...

OK, followed the http links in visvamitra's review, then https'ed them to see if it would work, and it does, so here's the bottle in that review - I think I would pay $40 just for one of these bottles:

Thank you @LizEF for this new review! The colour looks similar to R&K Isatis unobtaniensis and is, fortunately, not that attractive to me. 😊

Me too, I would buy the ink just for the bottle! 😇

 

Can it be, we will see Quin never again after he enters the tower? 😪

If I'm not mistaken, there's one of those bottles in the Aussie FPN pass-around box still, filled at the start of its journey with a Rubinato green ink that is too light to be legible. I fully expected that someone might like the bottle enough to remove the green ink from it and keep the bottle…

You're most welcome.  And yes, fortunate, since while this ink is available, it's expensive!

As my brother always points out, there no real tension when the life of the title character is threatened - after all, it's the title character - kill them off, and the show ends.

Well, I'd say it's worth it - maybe decant the unwanted ink into a less interesting bottle and put it back - it could become a "running" joke - the pass-around box's supply clerk, keeping track of all its transactions...

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 330 µm.
