Alright you see them all the time. The reproductions of milk bottles in cobalt, but this troubles me. Are or were there any REAL cobalt milks ever made ? I've searched this site and many others to no avail. Anyboby know?

I don't think they come in any color but clear. At least I have never found one. The reason I ask is that I often see reproductions in a lite pink or deep cobalt. The cobalt being the most popular, and was wondering if any " real " ones were out there .
