Colbolt Blue was a signature of Max Ingrand's style and time at Fontana Arte. Not withstanding its glamorous historical lineage, the colour Blue was still considered premium as cobalt oxide was significantly more expensive and technically demanding than iron or the sulphuric compounds used for amber or green glass.
Developed for Fontana Arte by Ingrand, his Colbolt Blue was known to have been inspired by the blue stained glass of Chartres Cathedral. Requiring precise control over the glass composition and cooling process to achieve this particular colour, it is still considered a major challenge in glass chemistry
