COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Process of Ornamenting Silvered Glass.
1, MARY ELIZABETH WEBB, of Ivy Cottage, Colney Road, Dartford, in the
County of Kent, Wife of Dairy Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an Improved Process of Ornamenting Silvered Glass.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon. Like letters represent like parts.
Figure 1, is an elevation of a bevelled plate glass panel a and the design d;
Fig. 2, is a section of Fig. 1, drawn to an enlarged scale and broken off at the
base for want of space.
According to this invention
procure a piece of plate glass a and a suitable
lithograph study d, a painting on vellum, canvass or otherwise; I take the exact
outline of the design d by means of a piece of tracing paper, this said outline or.
design d, I carefully cut out and place in position on the study, secured by a few
stitches. I well moisten the glass with starch and then place the glass in position
on the study, to which the design in tracing paper has already been affixed pressing
the same together, and remove the stitches and take the study away; I thus leave
the paper outline on the glass for ten minutes or thereabouts. I mix a little whiting
and strain the same through muslin and brush over the whole surface. In a short
space of time the paper may be carefully removed leaving the space for design
quite clear, this said space is filled in with a compound of paint or oil colour;
when the paint is dry I wash the whiting off and get the glass silvered. On the
surface being covered with silver b, I then remove the paint leaving the space free
to receive the design, which is affixed to the back of the said glass and is held
secure by a backing of stout paper c, cloth or any other suitable material in order
to preserve both the design d and the silver b.

page_text: It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the process, designs, materials and shapes may be varied in many ways within the
Ecope of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The process of ornamenting silvered glass with artists' floral, bird, fruit study
or any other design or picture, substantially as herein described and according to
the accompanying drawing.
2. The process in combination with the silvering the back surface of the plate
glass and leaving the whole of the design space free from silver, substantially as
herein described and for the purpose specified.
3. The combination of any design, picture or otherwise, with the silvered plate
glass, substantially as herein described.
Dated this 13th day of February 1891.
