Jeff Vanaman is going to be replacing his crucible at the end of the month,

but before he does that, he is going to put cobalt into it, and run some
cobalt batch(es)

If anybody wants to gather straight out of the furnace for beautiful BLUE
pieces, please contact Jeff:

According to Wikipedia, the ancient use of cobalt blue dates back to Roman
times
