The first recorded use of cobalt blue as a color name in English was in 1777. Ores containing cobalt have been used since antiquity as pigments to give a blue color to porcelain and glass. Transparent glasses are tinted with the silica-based cobalt pigment “smalt”.
This beautiful bell Jar lantern was hand blown and etched in England in the mid 19th Century. The pattern is of leaves and vines. The brass fittings were handmade and appear to be original. The aged brass bar in the center holds at it’s bottom a cluster of 3 lights which can take up to 25 watt bulbs. The light from this lantern creates a charming and ethereal effect at night. Ceiling cap, hanging hardware, and one foot of chain included.
