Wearingeul The Raven Fountain Pen Ink — 5 mL Archive Bottle
Wearingeul The Raven Fountain Pen Ink — 5 mL Archive Bottle
Wearingeul The Raven draws its color from the haunting atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe’s 1845 poem The Raven—a poem of memory, grief, and the terrible persistence of what cannot be forgotten.
The ink begins in a deep, dusky violet, dark enough in concentrated strokes to approach purple-black. Blue and violet shimmer moves through the darker base, catching the light like something briefly emerging from shadow. Wearingeul connects the glittering effect to the memories that continue to haunt Poe’s speaker as the raven repeats its inexorable answer: “Nevermore.”
Wearingeul’s literature inks translate works of fiction and poetry into color, allowing the atmosphere of a text to become part of the physical act of writing. The Raven is an especially fitting example: dark, melancholy, and restrained at first glance, but considerably more complex when the page moves under the light.

The Boston Lore Studio Archive Bottle
This Archive Bottle contains 5 mL of genuine Wearingeul The Raven 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.
Because The Raven contains shimmer particles, gently agitate the bottle before filling to distribute the shimmer. Shimmer inks may require more frequent pen cleaning and generally display their effects most readily with broader or wetter nibs and fountain-pen-friendly paper.
