The original shape of the bottle, which is typified by the long neck with marble, derives from the thirties. In addition to the long neck, the bottle is characterized by the rounded shape and wide, stable base. The new 'Dutch Masters' bottle holds more than 120 ml (4.0 oz) and thus contains more than twice as much fountain pen ink as the "regular" Akkerman ink bottles.
By tilting the closed bottle the bottle neck itself with ink. When righted, the marble will fall vertically and prevent the ink to flow back. This creates a reservoir above the marble which is easy to fill, even if the jar is almost empty.

Black with shading of dark blue
A non feathering, nice gliding ink that shades with dark blues, but only in a dry nib, otherwise, it is a dark blue so dark it is nearly black. I gave it only four stars because i...view moret doesn't match its name well enough. I love storms and stormy colored ink, but unless a person writes this with a super dry nib, its only going to be a very black blue, with little blue in the mix. It is, however, a well behaved ink, and it also offers a high rate of water proofness. When put in water for over ten minutes it does cloud outwardly with a dark purple, leaving a very pretty dark/blue grey behind, somewhat faded, a tiny bit blurry. Because of these factors, and that it was still legible, it received a score of 80%. It will still be legible but the blooming and clouding does not rinse off easily, thus making it difficult to read at times, however, it won't leave the paper, and you can get back your writings, and perhaps not even have to copy them to another book. So, if you like dark dark blues, and write things you don't want to be destroyed by accidental water immersion, then this ink is great for you. view less

Huge samples!
I have purchased 5 samples of Akkerman ink and the huge size of the samples will help me to decide which ink(s) to buy.
The samples from Vanness are at least twice...view more the size of others that I have received allowing me at least 2 fills of a standard size pen. That gives me more than an amply sized demonstration as to how the inks will react to my favourite paper and pen combinations and my writing style.
I have purchased inks in the past that have, for one reason or the other, been inappropriate for my tools and my writing style. The generous size of the samples allows me to make an informed decision before spending a relatively large amount of money on an untested product.
Thank you Vanness! view less
