SAVE on Glasswing Butterly Twinkle in the Twinkle Pair.
Glasswing Butterfly Twinkle features a vivid sapphire base accented with iridescent magenta sheen* when saturated on fountain-pen-friendly papers. This hue is finished with a pearlescent golden Twinkle pigment, offering a remarkable range of visual variation—from light and medium sapphire tones with golden twinkle at lean saturations, to deep sapphire with intermittent merlot sheen and golden sparkle at rich saturations.*
*Find sheen in the Glasswing Butterfly when saturated on common fountain-pen-friendly papers like Tomoe River or Rhodia. This property may require a wet pen and broad nib to achieve in writing. Our writing samples and swatch were made on Tomoe River paper with a medium point grade nib and cotton swab.
Twinkle Formula inks require additional pen maintenance and cleaning compared to their traditional ink peers. A medium point grade nib or larger is suggested to permit the pigment to travel from reservoir to page. We do not recommend pigmented inks in vintage pens. With all pigmented inks, we suggest using a pen that fully disassembles for complete and thorough cleaning.
Each 90mL volume will provide over 110 standard converter refills with an average 0.8mL draw. Rigid glass bottles arrive individually wrapped in cellulose wadding and prepared in a beautifully foiled gift box.

A Chemistry Of Color
How It's Made
Our fountain pen ink formulas are developed in-house using fine colorant and a meticulously tuned vehicle. Every bottle reflects our commitment to performance, value, and creative exploration.
Formula Guide
We've compartmentalized our fountain pen ink recipes into four principal categories characterized by differentiating elements of the colorant component in the formula. A colorant is a dye or pigment that exhibits color. An ink vehicle is a series of chemicals used to transport colorant from storage reservoir to substrate (paper in our case).
Keystone Formula inks are engineered using water-soluble dyes to produce a broad spectrum of colors with a variety of unique and desirable writing properties. Fitting the bill for a traditional fountain pen ink, this series by far the most popular.
Delicate Formula inks are constructed with dyes selected for both performance and washability. Colors in this series will clean easily from most fabrics and surfaces with soap and water.
Everlasting Formula inks are compounded with pigmented colorants to produce highly water-resistant and archival properties on most papers.
Twinkle Formula inks are formulated using hybrid dye and pigment combinations to create a unique twinkling luster.
