FerriTales - The Beauty and the Beast - Valiant Blue
A Canadian maker known for elaborate glass bottle designs alongside its ink colors.
Specs
Paper & pairing
Blues and navies are the most broadly "safe" fountain pen colors — legible, professional, and unlikely to raise eyebrows in an office. This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.
About Ferris Wheel Press
A Toronto-based maker known for elaborate glass ink bottles and brass-bodied pens aimed at a design-forward, gift-friendly audience.
Storing and using the bottle
Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight — most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.
