Smalt

The "variegated" colored soaps are produced by adding the various colors, such as smalt and vermilion, previously mixed with water, to the soap in a melted state; these colors are but slightly crutched in, hence the streaky appearance or party color of the soap; this kind is also termed "marbled" soap. ❋ George William Septimus Piesse (1851)

"smalt" blue forget-me-not with large flowers were abundant, also an oxalis very like our own wood-sorrel. ❋ T. R. Swinburne (N/A)

From left to right at top, there are seven colors, all pure reference (i.e., unmixed), ranging from Spanish white through deeper blue colors — smalt and indigo — to atramentum siricum, a dark blue-black. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Colors grouped under smalt include hyacinth, sea green, leek color, ingrain purple, paonaceus, and iron gray. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The search for native cobalt, especially outside of Saxony or the Erzgebirge, was tied to the development of zaffer and smalt industries — refined versions of cobalt used by painters and in vitreous colormaking — and to recognition of the quality of the cobalt-based colors. ❋ Unknown (2006)

This was true in general, but smalt was known to discolor in oil media unless used with small amounts of white lead and, like any coloring material, if poorly made or inexpertly used, it lost color over time. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Less-fine smalt was acceptable for coarse painting or industrial purposes. ❋ Unknown (2006)

By the way I received a 5ml precious limited edition Anniversary colour-''smalt-dumot´s blue''. ❋ James Gurney (2008)

As particles of smalt are ground finer, the fractured surfaces increase light scattering and lower its color saturation. ❋ James Gurney (2008)

Here, quality of the coloring material was determined by the degree of fineness to which the smalt was ground. ❋ Unknown (2006)

For eighteenth-century painters, the mineral origins suggested that smalt would be an especially stable color. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Hence, smalt cannot be ground finely as many other pigments and must be used somewhat coarse in paint. ❋ James Gurney (2008)

Ground zaffer was also the basis of the painters 'material smalt. ❋ Unknown (2006)

For about two centuries before that determination, cobalt was prepared in Europe, converted to zaffer to make blue-colored glass and blue enamel, and from zaffer to smalt for painting. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The particles of smalt have highly reflective surfaces. ❋ James Gurney (2008)

I was traveling light: carry-on baggage and a smalt .380 pistol that was easily concealed when I passed through metal detectors. ❋ Marcinko, Richard (1992)

The whole lot fitted nicely into one smalt standard container, with enough special packing to withstand anything short of a nuclear blast; this could travel by almost any means of transport known to man. ❋ Rohan, Michael Scott, 1951- (1992)

Kids from all over-from the inner-city ghettos and dying smalt towns-were given unlimited use of deadly weapons. ❋ Lustbader, Eric (1990)

The sheets of beaten copper, which he had previously weakened with acid, he broke into smalt pieces over his knee and cast them after the furs. ❋ Greenberg, Martin H. (1990)

The lusts of the flesh refused to die, among them the wish to feel again a smalt warmth in her arms, a small mouth milking her. ❋ Anderson, Poul, 1926- (1989)
