17. Staten-Generaal red - Akkerman fountain pen ink

The faceted ink bottle is distinguished by its long neck, which contains a glass marble. Akkerman fountain pen ink is suitable for any type of fountain pen and available in 31 sparkling colors. The ink colors have been given names with a Hague twist

What makes this bottle so unique? By tilting the sealed ink bottle, the neck fills with ink. Once upright again, the marble falls back and prevents the ink from flowing back. This creates a reservoir of ink above the marble, from which the fountain pen can be filled easily, even when the jar is almost empty.

#17. States General

The States General have been the representative assembly, or parliament, of the Netherlands, since 1814. With the Constitution of 1815, a bicameral system was introduced and since then the States General has consisted of the First Chamber and the Second Chamber. Red is the color that is perceived first, because it has the lowest frequency of all colors.
