Jacques Herbin Essentielles Gris de Houle Ink - Ink Bottle

Jacques Herbin Gris de Houle is a dark, deep and dense grey evoking the strong wave surges of a storm. Thanks to its unique hue and its great character, Gris de Houle is an elegant and seducing ink, perfect for a rare and subtle harmony.

Without overload or artifice, with a sober and elegant brightness, Jacques Herbin Essentielles inks echo the shades of watercolor colors. They are the accomplices of any amateur or connoisseur of the arts of pen and graphic arts, artists and travelers. The high quality ink made in France comes in a glass bottle of 50ml.

Established in Paris in 1670 —when King Louis XIV was 32 years old— the Maison Herbin initially specialised in the sealing wax, fine stationery and ink trade, and imported shellac from India.

In 1798 the Maison changed tack and put its faith in the future: whilst continuing to produce wax and engage in the paper and color (pigments) trade, it launched production of its own writing ink on the initiative of Jacques Herbin, member of the fourth generation.
