Máté Bikfalvi, the owner of Pennonia, shares thoughts on the ink colour: Pennonia Kékfestő was inspired by traditional Hungarian clothing decorations. The name refers to that specific color and the accompanied embroidery style used to decorate the clothes. In English, it is known as "blue printing" or "blue dyeing". While this style is not unique to Hungary, it nonetheless is considered a traditional folk technique/style. So not only is the name and color of this ink related to traditional Hungarian costumes it also has a connection with textile dyeing which is the industry that basically allowed us to enjoy so many nice and interesting colors in our inks as well.
Note: Bottles shown are 50ml, however, Pennonia has recently switched to 60ml bottles! They're just a little taller but share the same qualities as the 50ml bottles.
All Pennonia inks are created by hand using high-quality ingredients, precise measurements, and a pinch of passion for writing and inks to bring you, vivid, beautiful colors to write with. They are designed to work flawlessly with your favorite writing instruments, offering a smooth, pleasant writing experience. Pennonia inks can also be customized with different color shimmer powders based on your preference.
Each bottle is hand-labeled using Clairefontaine Clairmail 60 g/m2 white paper and the bottles themselves are pharmaceutical-grade amber glass bottles to protect the inks from UV light. The bottle's wide mouth is excellent for filling any kind of fountain pen and reduces the chances of accidentally tipping them over when filling.
