Stormy seas are the inspiration for J. Herbin's third 1670 ink, "Stormy Grey." Its color is a deep coal grey (anthracite) with flecks of gold. On his many voyages, J. Herbin encountered dark and wild oceans. The fine golden flecks in the ink are meant to invoke both strikes of lightening across the water, and also its dark and mysterious depths.

This ink is of exceptional quality and the irridescent/shimmer elements are subtle yet strong. The colour is deep and vibrant.

The 1670 Collection celebrates the rich life and adventures of J. Herbin, an enterprising French sailor of the mid-17th century. He made a number of voyages to India, collecting ingredients and formulas for his sealing wax and inks. He began making pen inks in his Paris workshop beginning in 1700 with the "Ink of Ships" and the "Jewel of Inks." Today, J. Herbin inks are widely used and internationally renowned.
