Van Dieman's Tassie Seasons - Wineglass Bay 30ml Ink Bottle

Wineglass bay holds a special place in the heart of any Tasmanian, or anyone for that matter, who has visited there. Nestled between sea, sand, forest and mountains, taking 2 hours to walk from the nearest road, this enchanted cove is one of earth's last remaining truly pristine locations. Its still, azure waters lap at the snow white beaches with serene nonchalance. This blue ink is lighter than any blue from the previous Van Dieman's Series, save for Pixie Parasols. It shades beautifully to a pale cyan, and holds a fine red sheen on certain paper types.

Tassie Seasons is Van Dieman's fifth series in Van Dieman's ink collection of Tasmanian Fountain Pen Inks. These sixteen inks encapsulate the changing colours of Tasmania's seasons, with four inks dedicated to each season. Tassie Seasons is a mix of dark and light, warm and cool, every-day writing worthy and artistically minded colours, including two shimmer inks.

Tasmania is the only state in Australia with a truly temperate climate. Winter exhibits colourful festivals in the south, generous snowfalls in the central highlands, and foggy days in Launceston from July through to September. Cool and breezy spring days unveil a kaleidoscope of native flowers, vibrantly plumed birds and stunning butterflies. An abundance of local produce arrives in the summer, to be enjoyed with a day at the many beaches, and followed by the ominous summer storm. In Autumn enjoy late seasons figs and pepperberries and marvel at Australia's only native deciduous tree at the turning of the fagus.

Van Dieman's Ink is Tasmania's only fountain pen ink company. They design, make, bottle, and label their inks by hand in micro-batch processes using at least 90% Australian Ingredients and Pure Tasmanian Mountain Spring Water.

All their dyes and ingredients are non-toxic, vegan, and environmentally friendly. Their fountain pen inks are unique in design and high in quality.

All inks are smooth flowing with little to no feather or bleedthrough, and a wide range of saturation and hue.

Van Dieman's has been making inks since 2016 that are suitable for all major brands of fountain pens, as well as dip pens and brushwork.
