zaffers

DEFINITION

impure cobalt oxide used to produce a blue color in glass and ceramic glazes

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The pottery workshop ordered several bags of zaffers to create the distinctive deep blue glazes on their handcrafted ceramic vases and bowls. Historical records show that zaffers were imported from european mines to color glass windows in medieval cathedrals across the continent. The ceramic artist experimented with different concentrations of zaffers to achieve varying shades of blue ranging from pale sky to deep midnight tones. Zaffers contain cobalt compounds that produce vibrant blue colors when fired at high temperatures in traditional kiln operations. The glassblower carefully measured the zaffers before adding them to the molten silica mixture to ensure consistent coloring throughout the final product.
