Robert Oster Melon Tea Fountain Pen Ink — 50 mL
$20.00
Robert Oster Melon Tea is a cool brown with olive-green and grey undertones—a color that can seem to shift with the light. Under warmer artificial light the olive side may become more obvious; in daylight the ink often reads as a more straightforward brown.
Independent reviewers report smooth, reliable flow and subdued-to-medium shading. In heavier applications a low bronze-brown sheen can appear, but the ink’s main appeal is its complex base color rather than dramatic sheen. It is a standard dye ink with no shimmer.
