I just found the bottle that rises on a slant. It is Caran d'Ache. Beautiful bottle

The Pilot Iroshizuku bottles are probably my favorite in terms of aesthetics. The Pelican Edelstein bottles are probably my second favorite.
I also like the practicality of the pen rest on the J. Herbin 30ml bottles.

FYI most of the empties are back in stock at Goulet. I was beginning to wonder if they'd ever have empty Iroshizuku bottles again but I finally got one last night

Yes, those Iroshizuku bottles are a simply-shaped but elegant chunk of glass - aesthetically one of my favorites, too. Even the bottle of the modestly-priced Namiki inks is an aesthetic fave of mine. It is a much flattened spheroidal shape from which it is really easy to get most of the ink. It has a little plastic tilt-fill ink reservoir, similar to that found in the old Parker Penman bottles. Perhaps the best part of the Namiki bottle is the ink inside -- one of the very best no-nonsense true blues, and a very water resistant one, too.
My favorite ink bottles. None of them are particular practical to get the last drop of ink out of them, but their design is quite nice.
From left to right:
Ostrich Tianjin Museum #903, a nice blue black shade. The bottle is a reproduction of Ostrich's first ink bottles from 1935.
Kobe Ink - Hankyu Maroon, a limited edition ink replicating the color of a limited service express train from Osaka to Kobe.
Sailor Manyo Ink - Akebi - lovely ink in a simplistic block of glass.
I really like the bottles from Akkerman. They have a marble inside for the converter reservoir. Really convenient.
