Cobalt blue eye wash cup

Treasured Things
This is a cobalt blue eye wash cup, one of my favorite collectables. My grandfather had very pale blue eyes which apparently were easily irritated. He used this cup to rinse his eyes out with boric acid. I can still picture him getting it out of a kitchen cupboard and I would watch, spellbound,by this eye washing procedure.  I don't know how I got this as when the house was sold I really got nothing of thiers. My Dad took the much prized clock which I then inherited.....will have to post a picture of it. Some little things can have so many memories. You know both of my grandfathers had blue eyes.....how did we all get brown eyes?
