The richest patch of colour on one of the world's most flamboyant birds.

The Mandarin Duck wears a different rich colour on every part of his body. Breast is a highly saturated dark indigo purple, threaded with a coppery shimmer that plays directly into the dark rust sheen. Deep, warm, and unexpectedly luminous.

Try before you commit to a full bottle. Each sample is hand-decanted into a 4ml glass vial with a screw-top cap and a labelled colour name, so you can test the shading, sheen, and flow in your own pens on your own paper first.

This is a shimmer ink. Shake gently before each fill, and use it only in fountain pens that can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Dip pens and brushes are always a safe bet.
