For centuries Cobalt compounds have been used to create a rich blue color to glass, glazes, and ceramics. Cobalt has been detected in Egyptian sculpture and Persian jewelry from the third millennium BC, in the ruins of Pompeii, and in China dating from the Tang and Ming dynasties.
Pure cobalt is not found in nature, but compounds of cobalt occur naturally in many forms. Small amounts of it are found in most rocks, soil, water, plants, and animals. Cobalt in small amounts is essential to many living organisms, including humans and is an element of atomic number 27.

Other preferred glass styles are the Beleek Fine China Irish Urns with shamrocks are selling well right now as well as Raku.
