 With a rounded bottle cap that feels great and is easy to grip, you can easily open and close the bottle without fearing leaks and spills. The special glass tube is designed in the center to effectively adjust the ink output and its suitable for both fountain pens and brush pens. Beautiful ink marks are revealed from within the inside of the bottle as you use the ink and the bottle slowly empties.

 

The bottle contains KWZ iron gall ink from Poland. The organic acid can effectively protect pen tips, and the lack of ink particles won’t cause blockages in the bottle. One of the best qualities of this ink is that there’s no need to keep the ink away from the sun, as it’s resistant to washing and fading. The ink color has many layers and gradually becomes darker with age. It is especially suitable for use on documents that need long term storage.

Capacity 30ml

Box size: 4.8cm x 4.8cm x 14cm Deep

Bottle size: 4.2cm x 4.2cm x 11.5cm Deep

Available in: Red, Blue and Green

It’s in the details

Though the ink itself is of the average range, the bottle is simply a delight! One of the few (of my many) I keep on my desk instead of in a drawer. The red is more maroon upon drying , nothing flashy, but gets the job done. The bottle inspires new writings every time I look at it !

Beautiful Vintage Looking Ink Bottle and Great Ink

Almost impossible to find. Galen Leather stocks ToolstoLiveby and while a bit pricy when factoring in tax and duty still a wonderful addition for any enthusiast.
The KYZ blue is a really nice ink and the bottle is really beautiful. Great customer ervice from Galen.

Beautiful design and ink!

As I have used PW Akkerman ink I was familiar with the concept of TOOLS to LIVEBY bottle. However, I love this smaller size and ornate style! It’s just so darn cute! Because of the ball stopper it is a cleaner and easier way to fill a plethora of inky pens or to use with dip pens. If I am honest I would have bought it no matter what ink was inside, so to have this fabulous colour is a bonus. It is not a true red - instead I would call it dark aubergine or cranberry with a touch of purple. It’s difficult to say because I use it on a wide range of artist and handmade papers that vary in their absorbency. To me, that is part of it’s appeal. It comes with a proper stopper when you open it and then you add the glass ball yourself and replace with the pretty glass stopper. It’s nice that if you need to store it you can go back to full plastic/rubber stopper.

Regal bottle!

I usually don’t use IG inks but went for this one just for the bottle. Love it absolutely! The ink dries fast and turns from blue to bluish black. Not a wet ink but not dry either. Completely waterproof.
