Have you ever seen something made of cobalt blue glass and wondered what makes it so special? Cobalt glass is a type of colored glass that has been used for hundreds of years, primarily because of its striking color and wide range of uses. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the versatility of cobalt glass.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is Cobalt Glass?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cobalt glass is a type of colored glass made from cobalt oxide, which gives it its distinctive blue hue. It was first created by Englishman George Ravenscroft in 1675 when he discovered that adding cobalt oxide to molten glass would create a deep blue color. Since then, cobalt glass has been used for many different purposes, from decorative items to scientific instruments.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Cobalt Glass Uses<\/span><\/h2>\n

The most common use for cobalt glass is decorative items such as vases, dishes, and stemware. The rich blue color makes these pieces stand out and adds an elegant touch to any room\u2019s decor. In addition to decorative items, cobalt glass can also be used to make lenses for telescopes and microscopes due to its unique optical properties. This type of lens helps reduce chromatic aberration (the distortion of light), which improves the clarity and accuracy of images taken with these instruments. Finally, cobalt glass can also be used as an x-ray filter in medical equipment due to its ability to absorb x-rays but pass visible light through them.<\/p>\n
