"
The effect produced by my improved process of decorating dry and unglazed
earthenware is that a bright and dead gold or silver is obtained by printing the
design for the decoration in colours or materials which when fired will produce a
glazed effect on red terra cotta, jasper bodies and all unglazed bodies and on
all dry grounds consisting of earthenware china and ceramic wares of every
description.
"
This glazed design together with the unglazed ground thereof is then covered
with "liquid gold or "liquid silver" or part of the design and ground with one
and part with the other separately or conjointly as the case may be and the
decorative design thus prepared is again fired by which process dead silver and
bright silver bright gold and dead gold are produced the glazed portions of the
design being developed in bright gold or silver as the case may be.
If desired parts of a gold or silver design of the above description may be
produced in glazed or unglazed colours or both combined

"
The offect produced by my improved process of decorating dry and unglazed
earthenware is that a bright and dead gold or silver is obtained by printing the
design for the decoration in colours or materials which when fired will produce a
glazed effect on red terra cotta, jaspar bodies and all unglazed bodies and on all dry
grounds consisting of earthenware china and ceramic wares of every description.
This glazed design together with the unglazed bodies or dry ground thereof is
then covered with "liquid gold" or liquid silver or part of the design may be
covered with one and part with the other separately or conjointly as the case may
be and the decorative design thus prepared is again fired by which process dead
silver and bright silver bright gold and dead gold are produced the glazed portions
of the design being developed in bright gold or silver as the case may be,
If desired parts of a gold or silver design of the above description may be
produced on or in combination with glazed or unglazed bodies or both combined,
Having thus described the nature of my invention and the manner of carrying
the same into practice I would have it understood that I make no claim to any of
the means or processes herein described (for decorating earthenware china terra
cotta and other ceramic wares) which are well known and in common use But
what I claim is:—
The improved method or process of decorating earthenware china terra cotta and
other ceramic wares with bright and dead gold or silver in design or in combination
with glazed or unglazed bodies or both combined substantially in the manner and
for the purposes herein before fully described.
In witness whereof I the said Charles Barlow have hereunto set my hand
and seal this twenty fifth day of April in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
