Haigh, Gentleman, in March 1859.<br /> <br /> During the late 18th century Richard Champion, a Bristol merchant and potter making Bristol porcelain, was working with a chemist, William Cookworthy, who began a search for good quality cobalt oxide to give the blue glaze decoration on the white porcelain. <br /> <br /> Cookworthy obtained exclusive import rights to all the cobalt oxide from the Royal Saxon Cobalt Works in Saxony.<br /> <br /> In 1774, Lazarus and Isaac Jacobs launched Bristol Blue glass as a national brand, using the cobalt oxide Cookworthy imported. Isaac was responsible for the great growth of the company, the expansion of its goods, held a royal warrant, and made glass for the aristocrats of Europe.&quot;<br /> ==== ====<br /> &lt;br style=&quot;clear: both&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> ===Site Navigation===<br /> ==== Use Your Browser Back Button to Return to Previous Page====<br /> <br /> Quick Links:- Return to [[Glassware Collection]] - [[ Collections|Browse All the Museum Collections]]</div>
