$8.00

Wearingeul The Black Tulip is inspired by Alexandre Dumas’s historical novel The Black Tulip, a story in which political intrigue, rivalry, imprisonment, and devotion converge around the seemingly impossible pursuit of a perfectly black tulip.

Wearingeul translates that elusive flower into a remarkably dark ink: a deep black base touched with violet, accompanied by silver shimmer. In heavier applications the color becomes nearly black, while the violet undertone and metallic particles emerge as the ink catches the light. Wearingeul describes the color as representing the legendary black tulip blooming amid intrigue and tragedy—a beauty appearing even in despair.

Wearingeul’s literature inks reinterpret works of fiction and poetry through color, transforming literary atmosphere and imagery into an ink for the written page.

The Boston Lore Studio Archive Bottle

This Archive Bottle contains 5 mL of genuine Wearingeul The Black Tulip fountain pen ink, hand-bottled by Boston Lore Studio.

Each 5 mL edition is presented in a high-clarity Type I Class A borosilicate 3.3 glass bottle with a polypropylene screw cap and PTFE liner. Unlike a disposable plastic sample vial, the Archive Bottle is intended to be kept: the glass bottle can be cleaned and reused after the ink has been enjoyed.

Each bottle includes an individual ink swatch made with the actual ink on Tomoe River 68 gsm paper, allowing you to see the color and character of the ink on fountain-pen-friendly paper.

The bottle and swatch are presented in a labeled glassine envelope and prepared by hand at Boston Lore Studio in Massachusetts.

Please note: Ink appearance varies with paper, nib, ink flow, lighting, and screen display. Shimmer particles naturally settle between uses; gently agitate before filling.
