Truce Turquoise fountain pen ink made by P.W. Akkerman pen store in The Hague.
A rich true blue turquoise with very nice shading properties. A staff favorite at Vanness.
Originally made to celebrate their 100th anniversary, this ink comes in a vintage-style bottle with a narrow neck with a marble stopper, to create a well at the top to aid in filling pens.

Wonderful to work with!
This particular ink is a pretty turquoise blue, leaning more blue than green. When I got this ink, I tried it out in a new pen (Penbbs 355 Bulkfiller) and worked just fine. I have... view moresince used this ink without any issues in my TWSBI ECO. It cleaned up relatively easily in the Penbbs 355, so I'm hoping that it does the same in my TWSBI ECO. It also cleaned off my hands pretty easily compared to other pens. Definitely worth it! view less

Not what I was expecting. That's a good thing!
I was expecting P.W. Akkerman #11 Trêves Turquoise to be greener than this, based on reviews I saw of this ink, using my screen. What a pleasant surprise it was, to see it on the b... view moreluer end of the spectrum of turquoise inks. It does have green in it–or yellow, if you prefer–but not enough for me to look elsewhere should I want to write with turquoise ink. It is similar to Scribo Capri Blu and R&K Blu Mare, and to Kobe #26 Wadamasaki Blue, which in turn, is more saturated. Iroshizuku Ama-Iro is bluer, Montblanc Unicef Blue is greener, and JH Bleu Pervenche is darker and greener. Keep in mind I use TR 52 gsm paper. I find Pelikan Edelstein Topaz to be bluer and a bit more saturated than Trêves Turquoise. The ink played well with all my nibs but one: my 1911S 21kt H-M, but I almost never write with this nib because I don’t like it much (I’m being kind, here). Trêves Turquoise is bright enough for me to use for markup and annotations, and to write short letters. If I had to buy a bottle of turquoise, I would hesitate between Trêves Turquoise and Scribo Capri Blu, without discounting R&K Blu Mare. But long live samples! view less

First time trying this ink. I love everything about it the color, the quality of the ink itself and the bottle is a work of art. I will be buying more!
