Selections From a Cobalt Blue Glass Collection

Shot Glass Selections

For about 15 years now, i've been collecting cobalt blue glass. My collection has over 200 pieces. For collecting, it's hard to beat cobalt blue glass. It's beautiful and never fails to escape notice when displayed. Another amazing thing is that other than paying for the drinks at convenience stores, it hasn't cost me a thing. My daughter and i often go dumpster diving at the local recycling spot to see what kind of new cobalt blue bottles we can find. Oh yeah, no one ever has to wonder what kind of a gift to get me either!
