Zaffer \Zaf"fer\, n. [F. zafre, safre; cf. Sp. zafra, safra, It.       saffera, G. zaffer; all probably of Arabic origin. Cf.       {Zaphara}.]       A pigment obtained, usually by roasting cobalt glance with       sand or quartz, as a dark earthy powder. It consists of crude       cobalt oxide, or of an impure cobalt arseniate. It is used in       porcelain painting, and in enameling pottery, to produce a       blue color, and is often confounded with smalt, from which,       however, it is distinct, as it contains no potash. The name       is often loosely applied to mixtures of zaffer proper with       silica, or oxides of iron, manganese, etc. [Written also       {zaffre}, and formerly {zaffree}, {zaffar}, {zaffir}.]

Smith (Dict.             Econ. Plants).          {Zebra shark}. Same as {Tiger shark}, under {Tiger}.          {Zebra spider}, a hunting spider.          {Zebra swallowtail}, a very large North American             swallow-tailed butterfly ({Iphiclides ajax}), in which the             wings are yellow, barred with black; -- called also             {ajax}.          {Zebra wolf}.
