Vivid traces of vermilion ink still color the walls of this small Yang-Tsé bottle, signed J. M. Paillard in Paris. Its illustrated label depicts brick architecture framed by columns, with the word "Indélébile" on a ribbon. Preserved with its embossed black cap, this empty bottle combines color and graphic design in a small format, to be paired with dip pens and vintage drawing supplies.
