Cobalt Blue

Took a trip up to the attic this past weekend to retrieve some cobalt blue pieces for the kitchen.

One of my sisters gave me her entire cobalt blue  glass collection. 

She just wanted to simplify.

Blue was never a favorite color of mine. Ever.

These days, however, I do love the pleasant shade of cobalt.

It's rich and satisfying.

So down came the red glass for Valentine's Day and up went the blue.

First, however, I washed the glass in hot water to which dish detergent and white vinegar had been added. 

Then the pieces air dried.

(Poor old St. Patty. Green was completely forgotten.)

DO YOU KNOW WHY THIS GLASS IS CALLED COBALT BLUE?
