Zane, we were discussing the color of one of the scroll flasksI have that leans pretty much toward cobalt. I just viewed one on another site described as a Sapphire blue pontilled Scroll Flask from the Charlie Gardner collection. I am adding a picture of Garder's bottle

Well put Lobes. I am tickled to death with mine regardless of its color, but its always nice to find out correct info if it is at all possible . I was never sure as to the color of mine, but it looks a lot like the one from the Charlie Gardner collection as for its color. Of course it is always the same as with anything when it comes to opinions, you can ask ten people their opinions on about anything, and will most generally get ten different opinions.

I always decide on color, by looking at the thickest glass on the bottle. It gives the light less of a chance of making it look different. I would call yours cobalt all day. Awesome scroll[;)]

It definitely has great color Jamie. I have several flask, but this is the pick of the litter for me. I always get pontils mixed up, but here is a picture of the bottom of the flask.

It looks dark enough to be cobalt in my book.
