Antique Aubergine is a dusky, murky purple ink from Birmingham Pen Company's Keystone line, offering a spectrum from soft twilight hues to rich thistle tones with moderate shading and deep violet edges on Tomoe River paper. Known for its traditional dye-based formula that's easy to clean with soap and water, it runs a bit dry in pens but performs well in flexible nibs like the Noodler's Konrad. It suits fountain pen enthusiasts seeking subtle, vintage-inspired purples for journaling or artistic expression.
