Monteverede Emotion Ink Bottle, Peace Blue - 30ml

Monteverede Emotion Ink Bottle, Peace Blue - 30ml

The Peace?Blue variant is part of the “Emotions” collection from Monteverde USA — a themed ink line where each hue is linked to a mood or concept. The Peace Blue shade is meant to evoke calmness, clarity, and a sense of tranquility. According to the official description: “A color that seeks tranquility and understanding above all else, blue is representative of peace and harmony.”

• SKU: G309PU. 

• Volume: 30?ml glass bottle.

• Collection: Emotions, alongside other colors (Kindness Pink, Love Red, Gratitude Magenta, etc).

• Key feature: Uses Monteverde’s Ink Treatment Formula (ITF) — described as enhancing ink flow, extending cap?off time, and protecting the pen’s feed. 

In short: this ink aims to bridge expressive colour and reliable writing performance, with the “Peace Blue” representing a calm, usable blue tone in the Emotions palette.

• According to reviewers, Peace Blue is “a dark blue that leans a bit purple” — described as somewhere between blue and purple (a “blurple”).

• In larger swabs the review noted “a small pop of bronzy sheen”.

• On fountain?pen?friendly papers the behaviour is good: one reviewer used Tomoe?River and Rhodia and found no feathering on those, though cheaper paper showed some bleed/feather. 

• The more formal retailer description emphasises the emotional/psychological aspect: “blue is representative of peace and harmony… watching the clouds move across the sky… you’ll find a higher level of mental clarity and spiritual perspective in your daily life.”

• Review from “thINKthursday” found: In a fine nib, drying time ~10 seconds; in a broad nib ~30 seconds on Rhodia paper. “Excellent flow, no feathering or bleedthrough.” blog.andersonpens.com

• In “Mountain of Ink” review: Dry time ~30 seconds; water resistance: low; feathering none on good paper; show?through medium; bleed none on good paper. On cheap copy paper there was some bleed/feather.

• Summary: Behaviour is good on good paper. It is not a waterproof or archival ink (water resistance is low). It has modest shading and a hint of sheen under favourable conditions.

• Bottle is suitable for standard fountain pens (converter/piston fill) as with other Monteverde bottles.

• The colour is versatile enough for daily writing (thanks to the “calm blue” tone) but also expressive enough to stand out in journaling or creative use.

• Because the Emotions collection has a theme, this ink works well when you want the colour of your writing ink to reflect a mood (in this case peace/clarity).

• Not designed (or marketed) for legal/archival use — better for personal notes, journaling, creative writing rather than documents requiring permanence.

• Bottle volume: 30?ml (≈1.01?oz) — a practical size for regular use without being huge.

• Bottle material: Glass, standard for Monteverde.

• Formulation: The Emotions series uses the ITF (Ink Treatment Formula) as a technical highlight — said to “drastically improve ink?flow quality, extend cap?off time, and lubricate and protect the ink feeding systems from corrosion and clogging.”

• Price (US): ~US$12 for the 30?ml bottle.

• Colour description: Blue representing peace/harmony; specifics: “dark blue that leans a bit purple.”

• Distinct But Usable Blue: Peace Blue offers a tone that’s slightly off the standard “true blue” — the purple lean gives it character yet it remains broadly usable.

• Emotive Theme: The Emotions collection concept adds a narrative to the ink colour — helpful if you like matching inks to mood, journaling themes or creative expression.

• Good Performance Baseline: Reviews suggest solid performance (flow, no feathering on good paper) and respectable dry times in medium/fine nibs.

• Value: At the size (30?ml) and price point (~US$12) this provides a lot of ink for expression without being a large commitment.

• Shading / Sheen Potential: Although modest, the review notes some bronzy sheen in swabs which adds flair in broader nibs. 

• Water?Resistance Low: If you need waterproof or archival writing, this ink is not strong in that regard (water resistance was rated “low” in reviews).

• Paper and Pen Dependent: As with many inks, behaviour (shading/sheening, dry time, feathering) depends heavily on paper quality and nib size/flow. On cheaper paper, the review showed bleed/feather.

• Colour Expectation vs Reality: While described as “blue,” some users may expect more vibrant or different leaning blue — the actual tone is “dark blue with a purple lean,” so if you expect a very bright azure you might be different from reality.

• Brand History / Storage Issues: Although not specific to this colour, some community users have flagged past issues with some Monteverde bottled inks (mold, off?smells, etc). Example: > “More than 7 bottles of Monteverde inks have gone bad with very foul smell.” While this may pertain to older batches/conditions, it’s prudent to inspect your bottle.

• Moderate Sheen/Shading Only: If you’re seeking dramatic sheen or heavily saturated colour, this ink may offer a more subtle or “refined” effect rather than show?stopping visuals.

Use good paper: To get the best out of Peace?Blue — shading, colour depth, minimal bleed — choose a fountain?pen?friendly paper (smooth surface, moderate absorption).

• Choose an appropriate pen/nib: A nib that offers moderate flow (medium or broad) will reveal the full character of the colour (shading/lean toward purple). A very fine or dry nib may render a flatter tone.

• Inspect bottle on arrival: Check for any odd smells, sediment, floating film — especially if the bottle has been stored for a while or you’ve acquired it from secondary sources.

• Store upright and sealed: To preserve the ink’s quality, keep the bottle upright, tightly capped, away from extreme heat, direct sunlight or contamination.

• Rotate use: If you enjoy ink variety, this colour makes a good rotation option; using it occasionally helps keep your pen feed active/flushed rather than leaving it idle.

• Not for waterproof tasks: Since the water?resistance is low, avoid using this ink for documents you expect to endure extreme exposure; better for journaling, personal letter writing, creative use.
