The deep blue ink with a golden shimmer recalls the sea voyages of J. Herbin to the Mughal Empire of India. In those days India was a primary supplier of indigo dye. Bleu Ocean takes its inspiration from those adventurous journeys.

The 1670 line was originally launched to celebrate J. Herbin's 340th anniversary. Each 50ml bottle is hand dipped in sealing wax with a stamped “1670” seal on the front and individually packaged in a collector edition box. This rich deep dye ink will bring brightness and majesty to all your writing! It is a highly saturated ink with a gold sheen achieved by a fine pigment that is quite visible in the bottle and requires the bottle to be shaken well before filling your pen. Best results are achieved on good quality ink-resistant papers if you want to see the gold sparkle!
